Over the last two decades, Australian economy has been integrated with the rest of the world through reduced protection accorded to domestic producers and consequent rise in manufacturing imports from both the developed and developing countries. This paper examines the effect of international trade on wage inequalities among skilled and unskilled labour force in Australian manufacturing industries. The paper measures Stolper-Samuelson (S-S) effects, over a period from 1982-83 to 1998-99. The findings of this study show mixed evidence on the presence of S-S effects, with strong effects for some unskilled intensive industries such as textiles & clothing in the post liberalization period with little or no effect for the others.
