Abstract

This paper analyses the developments in wages, employment and income distribution in the Central and Eastern European new member states twenty years after transition to capitalism, divided into three periods: 1) the transition crisis; 2) post-transition growth; and 3) the crisis episode of 2008-9. Total employment has at best stagnated or slightly decreased. Modest wage increases have fallen behind productivity increases. Furthermore, the global crisis has led to employment losses in all countries, and real wages have already started to decrease in several countries.
