摘要

The current paper discusses the evolution of earnings inequality in Germany with an eye to its potential lessons for China.Inequality is assessed from two different perspectives:the distribution of annual earnings,and the distribution of lifetime earnings.This paper proposes to implement closer monitoring of lifetime earnings and take a proactive stance in the formation of the wage-bargaining regime.
