Trade liberalization policies were expected to reduce wage inequality in developing countries, although affecting negatively the wage structure of the developed countries. However, after three decades of empiric evidence, a large body of literature on the impact of Trade Liberalization Policies (TLP) and Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) on wage inequality and employment have found something different. TLP and FDI have increased wage inequality in both developed and developing countries. 2012-06-26T15:41:57Z 2012-06-26T15:41:57Z 2012 http://hdl.handle.net/10986/9220 English CC BY 3.0 IGO http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/igo/ World Bank World Bank Africa Europe and Central Asia Middle East and North Africa Latin America & Caribbean East Asia and Pacific South Asia
