the claim

Technology is a major cause of rising wage inequality.

the verdict
CONTESTED PARTIAL
Recorded sources
2 sources for · 1 against

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that technology is a major cause of rising wage inequality?

Partly. One review states many economists treat skill-biased technical change as the leading cause of rising wage inequality, and a China study links skill-biased technology change to greater relative demand for skilled workers. However, another review notes the hypothesis fails to explain why US wage inequality stabilized in the 1990s despite continued computer advances.
