The analyses show that there is a correlation between low-wage shares and capacity to pay. The correlation depends on the indicator used for capacity to pay (wage costs as a share of factor income vs factor income per man-year). The report shows that (i) low-wage share decreases markedly with increased factor income per man-year, (ii) low-wage share decreases markedly with firms' size and unionization rate, (iii) educational composition has only a modest influence on the variation in the low-wage share between industries and (iv) geographical centrality of firms has different implications for the low-wage share in various industries, but with a tendency for the low-wage share to decrease with a higher the degree of centrality.
