For some reforms, these two impacts on measures of inequality may be offsetting each other (OECD 2013a, Chapter 2). In addition the estimates control for those real income transfers which are channelled via changes in terms-of-trade. For other reforms, however, wage and employment effects may reinforce each other, resulting in both stronger growth and smaller inequality. This could be the case of policy reforms aimed at easing the strictness of job protection on regular contracts as a way to tackle labour market duality (i.e. the existence of separate segments where comparable workers enjoy differential wage conditions and job protection).14 Results from the empirical analysis are reported in Table 1.
