Abstract
The literature on the labour market effects of globalisation is voluminous. This paper reviews many of the major contributions to that literature and sets them in the broader context. The papers reviewed are drawn from six branches of the literature relating to: the Stolper-Samuelson Theorem; Trade and Wages; Labour Market Microstructure and Adjustment; Trade and Employment; Migration and Labour Market Adjustment; FDI and Labour Markets. In addition to reviewing the literature, the paper also sets out an agenda for future research.
