Reading this series

This series is the mean of monthly employee earnings. It is produced by ILOSTAT as indicator EAR_EMTA_SEX_CUR_NB for both sexes, published annually and expressed in 2021 PPP dollars. Because it is an arithmetic mean, it is pulled upward by high earners more than the median is. Values are gross employee pay, before income tax and social insurance, and they are not take-home pay. Only employees are covered; self-employed and contributing family workers are not part of the average.

National sources differ in survey coverage, reference period and how part-time work is treated, and the ILO converts each national series to a common purchasing-power basis. Comparisons are therefore broad. Use the chart and range buttons for the trend within one economy, and the ranked table for the latest published year. Published estimates are revised from time to time, so a later rebuild may show a different historical value.

About this desk

Taiwan is a comparison desk. World Bank does not publish these labour series for Taiwan, and ILOSTAT earnings coverage is uneven. Only available producer-published observations appear.

Average and median monthly earnings come from ILOSTAT, in 2021 PPP dollars. These are gross employee earnings before tax, not take-home pay. National coverage differs.

Chart and Table show the same observations. Range buttons change only the displayed years; use Country to switch desks. Each page names its source and licence.
