Abstract
In my study, I describe wage polarization in the Swedish labor market between and within cohorts of educational groups from 1991 to 2013. My sample consists of wage earners aged 18–65 from the Swedish longitudinal integration database for health insurance and labor market studies (LISA). I used relative distribution methods and panel data analysis. The relative wage distribution indicated polarization among birth and age cohorts. However, polarization decreased in magnitude over the study period. The pattern remained even with the predicted values. A regression analysis indicated that birth cohort moderates the difference between educational groupings at various quantiles of the wage distribution.
