About this data

Earnings, minimum wages and the gender pay gap come from ILOSTAT, the International Labour Organization’s statistics database (CC BY 4.0). Each country reports from its own surveys, so we always show the latest year available for that country.

Local-currency figures are hard to compare across countries, so we also show purchasing-power-parity dollars (PPP$), which reflect what the money buys locally. Survey years and definitions differ, so use the numbers for broad comparison rather than salary negotiation.
