N2  - This paper examines changes in the distribution of wages using bounds to allow for the
impact of non-random selection into work. We show that worst case bounds can be informative.
However, since employment rates in the UK are often low they are not informative
about changes in educational or gender wage differentials. Thus we explore ways to tighten
these bounds using restrictions motivated from economic theory. With these assumptions
we find convincing evidence of an increase in inequality within education groups, changes in
educational differentials and increases in the relative wages of women.
