The issue of low-wage workers has received increased interest during last
decades in many European countries. In this paper I analyse the patterns of low-wage
employment in the Spanish labour market. Using a sample of Spanish workers
extracted from the European Community Household Panel for the period 1995-2001, I
first analyse the earnings distribution as a whole, looking at the characteristics of low,
medium and high paid jobs. I also look at the evolution of these jobs over the period
1995-2001. Furthermore, I examine the determinants of being in a low-paid job using
an analytical framework that is characterised by the ability to account for the
endogeneity of initial conditions. Finally, I explore the effects of low pay on job
mobility. For this purpose I adopt an approach based on competing risks in order to
allow for different risks of failure.
