The article discusses how wage inequality in Poland increased significantly after 1998, similar to the UK in the 1980s. The rise in inequality was linked to differences in wage patterns between public and private sectors, as well as a growing demand for educated workers. Factors like wage differentials and within-group variances played a role in this trend. The public sector wages were not influenced by local labor market conditions, unlike private sector wages.
