WageIndicator Foundation
WageIndicator Foundation
WageIndicator aims to contribute to a transparent labour market for workers and employers. It
operates websites with easily accessible information about work-related topics. In 2001 the first
website started in the Netherlands. Today WageIndicator has websites in 89 countries, and more
countries are expected to join. These websites are in the national language(s) and they publish
frequently searched information about minimum wages, wages by occupation, employment
contracts, topics related to labour law, content of collective agreements, occupational choices and
alike. To attract a large audience, the WageIndicator team publishes VIP wages and optimizes efforts
for search engines. By publishing this urgently needed but usually not easy accessible information,
the websites attract a growing audience, in 2015 resulting in more than 32 million unique visitors.
Wages in Context
On the WageIndicator home page a world map is available with Wages in Context information per
country, derived from the WageIndicator Wages in Context database. This database includes poverty
lines for individuals and families, minimum wage information, minimum and maximum paid wages,
and living wages for individuals and families. For the latter the lower and upper bound Living Wage-
levels are presented, reflecting respectively the 25th and the 50th percentiles of the collected price
data. See http://www.wageindicator.org/main/salary/wages-in-context
