The objective of this paper is to investigate the links between earnings inequality and the changing nature of jobs in a revolution context. The methodology consists of various decompositions and regressions based on Tunisian labour force surveys from the past 20 years. Tunisa’s labor market during the period of investigation is characterized by a decreasing earnings inequality following the fall of education premia, and an asymmetric wage polarization mainly led by the increase of the lowest wages. When we remove the public sector, we end up with job polarization and wage polarization only before the Revolution, which confirms the impact of the public sector on inequality in the Revolution era. Although evidence shows that the routinization had a role in the evolution of the wage structure, it is not the main driver. Its effect was crowd out by employment and wage policies in the public sector.
