ABSTRACT
This report explores how collective wage setting across 9 EU Member States and 4 sectors therein is practiced, to assess trends towards more individualized/discretionary wage setting mechanisms. The report summarises country-specific evidence collected in individual country studies on how collective and individual wage setting co-exist and interact with each other, and what other challenges can be identified in the wage setting system, both across countries and sectors. The analysis builds on original empirical evidence conducted by a team of researchers within the BARWAGE project in 2022-2024.
