Abstract
Este trabajo analiza los factores que explican la caída continuada de la participación de los salarios sobre la renta en la economía española a lo largo del periodo 1987-2015. En el análisis se diferencian tres tipos de factores que dan cuenta de este retroceso: técnico-productivos, la acción del Estado y socio-institucionales. A través de una metodología estadístico-descriptiva, combinada con un análisis cualitativo del periodo, el artículo muestra que los cambios en la composición sectorial del empleo, la intensidad del empleo, la política económica y la evolución del marco de relaciones laborales y el mercado de trabajo son las causas del menor crecimiento de los salarios en relación al de la productividad del trabajo. Asimismo, incidiendo en la importancia de las condiciones socio-institucionales, presentamos un índice de capacidad negociadora de los asalariados, que combinando la evolución de hasta ocho variables, permite explicar en términos dinámicos la evolución de la cuota salarial.
The article analyzes the main causes that led to the continuous decline of the wage share in the Spanish economy during the period 1987-2015. Three types of factors have been considered to explain this downturn: technical and productive factors, the state performance and the evolution of the socio-institutional conditions. We combine a descriptive statistical methodology with qualitative analysis to show that the change in the employment structure, the employment intensity, the economic policy and the evolution of the industrial relations and labor market institutions explain the changes in income distribution. Additionally, we highlight the importance of the socio-institutional factors and we present an index to quantify the bargaining power of the employees that can account for the wage share performance in dynamic terms.
