Video: Christopher Pissarides on income inequality

The main issue today is inequality. We have to find ways of raising the incomes of low-skilled workers. We have to find a way of creating jobs for people without university education and without the means to get into top-level jobs. We have to find ways of increasing pay in those jobs so as to reduce inequality; make all jobs in society respectable; and reduce this extreme inequality that we have today in the world.

Watch a clip of Christopher Pissarides, Nobel prize-winning economist, at the World Economic Forum’s Annual Meeting 2015 in Davos above, and catch up with the full session on income inequality, here.
