Title: Wage mobility in times of higher earnings disparities: is it easier to climd the ladder?
Abstract: In this paper I study the earnings mobility in Poland and in the UK. Using both
transition matrices and a wage mobility index I rst document changes in the overall
wage mobility in Poland across time, then compare mobility patterns among Polish
and British employees. I focus in particular on low wage workers and analyze their
transitions within the earnings distribution and between di¤erent labour market
states. Finally, I demonstrate that changes in the earnings mobility in Poland do
not seem to be linked to changes in the overall wage dispersion.
