Data-Users

Millions of people use our platforms. Workers, employees, self-employed and jobseekers - just to name a few - rely on our information. To understand their labour rights, know the standards for decent work and know how their wages relate to other wages in their sector. People often use the information to help with salary negotiations or advocate for better rights.

Trade unions or workers representatives partner with us to analyse cost of living levels and worker priorities. We team up to strengthen evidence-based social dialogue, negotiations and collective agreements. Our CBA database, with examples of clauses - including on emerging topics such as AI -, Living Wage estimates and Worker Priority Polls are used by the trade unions.

We partner with governments to improve transparency and evidence-based decision-making. Our Living Wage estimates, Labour Rights Index, and Minimum Wage data, as well as data collected through our Decent Work Checks, are often referred to for monitoring and legislative reforms.

Since the start of WageIndicator, universities and research institutes have been important partners to collect and analyse data. Furthermore we team up to conduct research on collective agreements, minimum wages, wages, salaries, skills and occupations, cost of living and living wages for academic and policy research.

Many national and international companies use our data to ensure compliance with Minimum Wages and to design Living Wage policies for their own employees and operations and their complex supply chains. At the employer level, we also strengthen social dialogue processes by sharing data from the Decent Work Checks - a compliance check from the perspective of the worker. This identifies where risks are concentrated, determines where to prioritise efforts in their place of work and how to engage meaningfully with stakeholders as part of responsible business practice.
