Wage Structure Survey

Previous Next

Definition

The Wage Structure Survey evaluates the effects of the characteristics of employees and employers on wages levels and on the way employees are paid.

Note

The wage structure survey and the labour cost survey form a pair of complementary European surveys. Until 2005, each survey was four-yearly, alternating every two years. From 2006 they were integrated into the Survey on the cost of labour and wage structure (ECMOSS). This new procedure allows an annual adjustment of the changes in the cost of labour and work.
