The Global Wage Report
The Global Wage Report examines the evolution of real wages around the world, giving a unique picture of wage trends globally, by region and at country level. Over the years, the report also provided an in-depth analysis of various wage-related issues, covering topics such as wage inequality, the gender pay gap, and minimum wage systems.
