Whither Wages?

School of Social Science, Flinders University, South Australia

In July 1981 the Australian Conciliation and Arbitration Commission ended its six-year experiment with a centralised wage indexation system accompanied by restrictive guidelines. Ever since then, if not before, there has been considerable concern about what might be in store for us in this area. Industrial relations professionals have been unsettled by the sheer uncertainty of the vacuum created by the Commission's departure from the field, and economists have been left wondering about whether new procedures, whatever and however diverse they may be, will be more or less inflationary than centralised wage indexation.
