Some progress was made in the lowest pay echelons of the labour market, probably because of the minimum wage campaign and thanks to an active trade union strategy. However, other developments are worrying. The wage gap between the lowest income and the high earners did not decrease. According to SGB\u002FUSS, this is the result of an unsocial tax and social security policy that works out in favour of the higher income earners (their income tax decreased between 2000 and 2014 from 37 to 32%). \u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>German: \u003Ca href=\"http:\u002F\u002Fwww.sgb.ch\u002Fthemen\u002Fwirtschaft\u002Fverteilung\u002Fartikel\u002Fdetails\u002Flohnerhoehungen-der-normalverdienenden-werden-von-unsozialer-politik-weggefressen\u002F\">http:\u002F\u002Fwww.sgb.ch\u002Fthemen\u002Fwirtschaft\u002Fverteilung … \u003C\u002Fa> \u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>French: \u003Ca href=\"http:\u002F\u002Fwww.uss.ch\u002Fthemes\u002Feconomie\u002Frepartition\u002Farticle\u002Fdetails\u002Fune-politique-inegalitaire-engloutit-les-augmentations-de-salaire-des-petites-gens\u002F\">http:\u002F\u002Fwww.uss.ch\u002Fthemes\u002Feconomie\u002Frepartition … \u003C\u002Fa>\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The study (German with French synthesis): \u003Ca href=\"http:\u002F\u002Fwww.sgb.ch\u002Ffileadmin\u002Fuser_upload\u002F117df_DL-KS_Verteilungsbericht_2016-internet.pdf\">http:\u002F\u002Fwww.sgb.ch\u002Ffileadmin … \u003C\u002Fa> \u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp class=\"CM3\">\u003Cspan class=\"discreet\">\u003Cspan color=\"#666666\" size=\"2\">For more information, please contact the editor Jan Cremers, Amsterdam Institute for Advanced Labour Studies (AIAS) \u003C\u002Fspan>\u003Ca href=\"mailto:cbn-aias@uva.nl\">\u003Cspan color=\"#0567d1\" size=\"2\">cbn-aias@uva.nl\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fa>\u003Cspan color=\"#666666\" size=\"2\"> or the communications officer at the ETUI, Willy De Backer \u003C\u002Fspan>\u003Ca href=\"mailto:wdebacker@etui.org\">\u003Cspan color=\"#0567d1\" size=\"2\">wdebacker@etui.org\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fa>\u003Cspan color=\"#666666\" size=\"2\">.
