The Structure of Working Class Economic Inequality Under Market Socialism: A Labor Market Analysis of Blue-Collar Workers in Yugoslavia

I compared skill homogenization and skill solidarity theory for their ability to account for: (1) the effects of labor market characteristics on working-class earnings in different regions of Yugoslavia that varied in their level of industrialization; and, (2) economic stratification among working-class strata in a developed region of Yugoslavia. The data source for this research was the 1976 Worker Census, a survey of the labor market characteristics of workers in Yugoslavia. Savezni Zavod za Statistiku (Federal Office of Statistics) in Belgrade supplied aggregated data from this census on industries in Slovenia and Macedonia, two republics with contrasting levels of industrial development. Zavod SR Slovenije za Statistiko (Office of Statistics in Slovenia) provided information on selected occupations within Slovene industries.
