Other characteristics

For international comparability purposes, statistics of earnings used relate to employees’ gross remuneration, i.e. the total before any deductions are made by the employer in respect of taxes, contributions of employees to social security and pension schemes, life insurance premiums, union dues and other obligations of employees. Data on earnings should be presented on the basis of the arithmetic average of the hourly earnings of all employees.

DATA CONCEPTS and CLASSIFICATIONS



Classification used

Earnings refer to the gross remuneration in cash or in kind paid to employees, as a rule at regular intervals, for time worked or work done together with remuneration for time not worked, such as annual vacation, other type of paid leave or holidays. Earnings exclude employers’ contributions in respect of their employees paid to social security and pension schemes and also the benefits received by employees under these schemes. Earnings also exclude severance and termination pay.

Disaggregation

is by sex, occupation, age and disability status.

Key statistical concepts

Statistics on average hourly earnings by sex can be used to calculate the gender pay gap, as follows:

Gender pay gap = (〖Average hourly earnings〗_Men- 〖Average hourly earnings〗_Women)/〖Average hourly earnings〗_Men   x 100

OTHER ASPECTS



Recommended uses

This indicator can be used to measure the mean hourly earnings from paid employment of employees by sex, occupation, age and disability status.

Limitations

The variety of possible sources for statistics on earnings greatly hinders international comparability, as each type of source has its own coverage, scope and characteristics. It would not be fully accurate to compare, for example, hourly earnings from a labour force survey for one country with hourly earnings from an establishment survey for another.
