About this data
This dataset contains data on the relative earnings of workers, by age group, gender, educational attainment level and work time arrangement. The baseline is the earnings of workers with below upper secondary attainment, and it is primarily served to analyse the earnings difference by programme orientation.

The selection can be changed to display data by gender, by level of educational attainment, by age group and by work time arrangement (e.g. full- or part-time employment). Data refer to gross earnings except for Argentina and Türkiye. Data on full-time workers are recommended because of better comparability. Filter the time period to visualise historical data. Data for the latest available year are preliminary. Final data will be released on September 29, 2026.
