The occupations and industry groups covered relate, as far as possible, to those which are important in terms of the number of persons employed in them, those which fall within the scope of ILO Industrial Committees and similar bodies and those involving employment of certain types of workers (such as women or salaried employees). The food items covered are, as far as possible, representative of the dietary habits in countries throughout the world.
This volume presents the latest results of the ILO October Inquiry, a worldwide survey of wages and hours of work relating to 159 occupations in 49 industry groups and of retail prices of 93 food items, conducted with reference to the month of October each year. It was initiated in 1924 to give effect to a resolution of the First International Conference of Labour Statisticians (1923), and has been conducted regularly ever since. A major revision and expansion of the Inquiry was introduced in October 1985. The occupations and industry groups covered comprise, as far as possible, those which are important in terms of the number of persons employed in them, those which fall within the scope of the ILO Industrial Committees and similar bodies and those which are important in terms of employment of certain types of workers (such as women, slaried employees and so on). The food items covered are, to the extent possible, representative of the dietary habits in countries throughout the world.
The first in a new series of ILO reports focusing on wage developments, this volume reviews major trends in the level and distribution of wages around the world since 1995. It considers the effects of economic growth and globalization on wage trends, looking closely at the role of minimum wages and collective bargaining, and suggests ways to improve wage levels and to enable more equal distribution. Wages are a major component of decent work, yet there is a serious knowledge gap in this increasingly important area which this report begins to address. Part one summarizes the main trends in average wages and distribution of wages, providing a statistical analysis of the links between wages and economic growth, along with wage forecasts for 2008 and 2009. Part two examines the relationship between minimum wage policies and collective bargaining, highlighting the effects of institutions on wage outcomes and the importance of coherent policy articulation. Part three concludes with concrete policy recommendations and identifies key issues for further research. The report includes full technical and statistical annexes.
Contains the ILO October Inquiry, a worldwide annual survey of wages and hours of work relating to 159 occupations in 49 industry groups and of retail prices of 93 food items.
