Abstract
In recent years, Dutch wage growth has failed to keep up with productivity growth which has resulted in a productivity-wage gap. This suggests that workers have not benefitted proportionately from their increased productivity. This thesis investigates how productivity and wage have developed in the Netherlands during the past 50 years.
