ABSTRACT
WageIndicator Foundation operates national websites in 206 countries (including territories and overseas areas) across all continents, catering to the general public with labour-related content. In collaboration with social partners, WageIndicator began collecting collective agreements in December 2012 with the intention of publishing their complete texts on its websites. The primary goal was to enhance working conditions and attain decent wages by promoting the use and circulation of collective agreements in actual negotiations. In all participating countries, social partners expressed great interest in publishing their CBAs, recognizing it as an effective and cost-efficient method of communicating the outcomes of their bargaining efforts to their constituents and a broader audience. These partners submit the texts of their agreements to WageIndicator to be entered in the database. By the end of 2023 WageIndicator has collected, analysed and published around 2600 collective agreements from 62 countries worldwide (see Figure 1 and Table 1 below) that are all part of the Collective Agreements Database. These agreements are available in 27 different languages.
This annual report showcases the work done around and with the Collective Agreements Database, such as on projects, publications, analysis and insights.
