This is a really poor article. Wages are growing, and at their fastest rate in history. Japan is not the world. Worldwide, labour's share of income has declined modestly, but that can be fully explained by the global decline in the labour participation rate: https://data.worldbank.org/indicator/SL.TLF.CACT.ZS https://data.worldbank.org/indicator/SL.TLF.CACT.ZS And a declining LPR is an expected result of higher incomes (more people can afford to go to school, live on government assistance and retire when per capita income increases).
