About this data
With the aim of promoting international comparability, statistics presented on ILOSTAT are based on standard international definitions wherever feasible and may differ from official national figures. The Gini index measures the degree of inequality in the distribution of earnings among employees. It ranges from 0 to 1, where 0 indicates perfect equality (all employees have the same earnings) and higher values indicate greater inequality. The index is calculated from the distribution of employees earnings. For more information, refer to the Wages and Working Time Statistics (COND) database description.
