32This paper reviews evidence on the distribution of earnings in Ireland between 1987 and 1994. Possible explanations within the Supply - Demand - Institutional framework are considered and changes in these factors in Ireland are described. Theil MLD indices are calculated and decomposed to assess why inequality has increased. Finally, changes in employment structure are decomposed to between and within industry components. Within industry changes are found to dominate, suggesting that technological change has been an important factor in explaining the rise in earnings inequality.
