Wages is a small labour-statistics desk and a Younivi publication from New Zealand. It has no research floor, sales desk or invented masthead of analysts.
Each all-countries page follows one published measure: output per worker; average, median or industry employee earnings; wage and salaried workers; vulnerable employment; the employment-to-population ratio; or labour-force participation. Pages pair a filterable chart and ranked table with an explanation and citation.
Output per worker measures productivity, not pay. ILOSTAT average, median and industry earnings are gross employee pay in 2021 PPP dollars, not take-home pay or the modelled ILO employment estimates. Employment shares describe job structure; the ratios describe participation and work.
Country desks use the same observations and focus the menu on one economy and its peers, or its ISIC industry sections. Singapore and South Africa desks are noindex. A desk does not invent a national wage series. World Bank has no Taiwan labour-share series here; ILOSTAT earnings coverage also differs by economy.
This is an information project. Younivi is not a bank or a financial-advice provider, and these pages make no recommendation.
We republish producer figures rather than commission estimates. Each page names the indicator, producer and applicable terms: World Bank Open Data under CC BY 4.0, and ILOSTAT under CC BY 4.0 with International Labour Organization attribution. We neither resell the data nor claim a producer's figure as our own.
The pages describe published numbers. They do not rank economies as better places to live or invest or offer an advisory service. An economy appears because a source publishes it, not because Younivi endorses its policy.
When a value or citation is wrong, we correct the build and regenerate the page; we do not silently overwrite source values. Google AdSense supports the site but has no role in source selection or wording. Advertisers cannot pay to include or exclude an economy.
