Project description | WageIndicator demonstrates that sustainability and low cost input are a good match in international cooperation. Participants in the online salary survey interact with web visitors who consult the salary checks. This interaction is built into the Wage Indicator system. Over the years the system becomes more and more sustainable. At the same time it depends on the voluntary contributions from the grass roots, given at no cost. In this way Wage Indicator organizes the cooperation of all working people in the countries which are beneficiaries of Dutch foreign aid – and successfully so. Given its outreach in the Netherlands the visitors of Dutch Wage Indicator websites can be easily introduced to the effects development assistance may have. They simply look and listen to their professional peers abroad. How much do they and their professional peers actually have in common? Supposedly at least this: Everybody Wants to Earn a Bit More. |
