Rankings
Countries ranked within each year. Note that in some years there may be no values reported for a particular country. In those cases, that country will be ranked last (or joint last) in that year. This particularly affected 2020 where figures may not have been collected or reported due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Wages - Low Pay
Wage levels are divided by low pay and high pay. The incidence of low pay refers to the percentage of full-time workers earning less than
two-thirds of median earnings. The incidence of high pay refers to the percentage of full-time workers earning more than one-and-a-half time
median earnings. Hover over the countries to see values. Lighter colours refer to a higher percentage.

Wages - High Pay
Wage levels are divided by low pay and high pay. The incidence of low pay refers to the percentage of full-time workers earning less than
two-thirds of median earnings. The incidence of high pay refers to the percentage of full-time workers earning more than one-and-a-half time
median earnings. Hover over the countries to see values. Lighter colours refer to a higher percentage.
