摘要：

技术变革是劳动力市场发生重大变化的原因。技术变革的产物之一是SBTC，对许多经济学家来说，这是工资不平等加剧的主要原因。然而，尽管技术变革同样影响了大多数发达国家，但工资不平等的增加程度并不相似。根据SBTC理论的预测，不同程度的不平等可能是由于经济体之间不同程度的技能不平等，可能是由现有熟练工人数量的变化造成的。然而，最近的研究表明，上述差异可以解释国家之间差异的一小部分。因此，由此产生的不平等大多数可能是由于每个劳动力市场对高水平技能的估值方式不同。本文主张的立场是，技术变革在很大程度上是为所有国家提供的，没有太大的逆转余地。因此，为了说明导致工资不平等的工资分配结构变化，我们需要了解技术如何影响劳动力市场制度，从这个意义上说，技术进步导致的薪酬不平等并不是我们被动接受的现象。相反，认识到劳动力市场制度的结构和运作方式在很大程度上受到制度对技术变革的反应方式的影响，我们可以理解并可能扭转这种潜在的工资不平等。

英文摘要：

Technological change is responsible for major changes in the labor market. One of the offspring of technological change is the SBTC, which is for many economists the leading cause of the increasing wage inequality. However, despite that the technological change affected similarly the majority of the developed countries, nevertheless, the level of the increase of wage inequality wasn't similar. Following the predictions of the SBTC theory, the different levels of inequality could be due to varying degrees of skill inequality between economies, possibly caused by variations in the number of skilled workers available. However, recent research shows that the difference mentioned above can explain a small percentage of the difference between countries. Therefore, most of the resulting inequality could be due to the different ways in which the higher level of skills is valued in each labor market. The position advocated in this article is that technological change is largely given for all countries without much scope to reverse. Therefore, in order to illustrate the changes in the structure of wage distribution that cause wage inequality, we need to understand how technology affects labor market institutions.In this sense, the pay inequality caused by technological progress is not a phenomenon we passively accept. On the contrary, recognizing that the structure and the way labor market institutions function is largely influenced by the way institutions respond to technological change, we can understand and maybe reverse this underlying wage inequality.
