IMF Staff Country Reports-United Kingdom: Selected Issues
February 14, 2018--
DRIVERS OF UK WAGE GROWTH1
Since the financial crisis, nominal wage growth has been much weaker than during the previous
decade. This chapter finds that the main factors behind the slowdown include weak productivity
growth, labor market slack (both in the UK and the EU), and low inflation.
We consider broader measures of labor market slack including a newly constructed measure of underemployment, aiming to capture labor market pressures more accurately than the headline unemployment rate. This measure signals limited labor market slack in 2017, which should support wage growth going forward.
