WageIndicator

WageIndicator WageIndicator Foundation aims for a transparant labour market globally. Assist individual workers and employers with problems of daily working life.

WageIndicator's websites contribute to this goal by sharing and comparing wages, labour law and career information in 208 countries. WageIndicator Foundation is a non-profit organisation that shares and compares information about wages, labour law and career. We do this because there is a lack of coherent information, easy to access, easy to understand, full circle, independent, free of politics in many countries worldwide. The national WageIndicator websites function as online, up to date labour market libraries for workers, employers, governments, academics and media alike. We want to assist individual workers and employers with real wage data during negotiations and job search. To assist workers, employers and labour inspectors with comprehensive insight in national Labour Law, and how to comply with the law. Our mission is to get more labour market transparency for the benefit of all employers, employees and workers worldwide by sharing and comparing information on wages, Labour Law and career. We do this by the help of our global team and partners which exist of trade unions, employer organisations, journalists, world renown universities and academics.

We have launched our new Labour Rights Index 2026 and here's what we found.

One big change this year is that we've become stricter about forced labour. It's no longer enough for a country to simply ban it. The law also needs to punish it and help victims get justice, including compensation. We also check whether other laws, like strike law, prison law and national service laws, allow some form of compulsory labour. With this tougher test, many countries scored lower.

Some countries show how it can be done. In Brazil, for example, prisoners must agree before they can be made to work for private companies.

Which of these findings surprised you? Tell us in the comments, and share this with someone who cares about fair work.

Happy World Day for Decent Work!
Today we're officially launching the Labour Rights Index 2026 🎉

This year, we're also looking at some new questions that affect people's everyday lives at work:
🔹 Does the law help workers get childcare?
🔹 Can workers leave if their workplace is in immediate danger?
🔹 Are app workers treated by what their job really is, not just what their contract says?

Tomorrow, we'll share what we found.

Which of these matters most to you or your family? Tell us in the comments. And share this video with someone who should know their rights.

Watch, then explore: https://wageindicator.org/work/labour-law/index/?utm_campaign=Events-26&utm_medium=social&utm_source=facebook&utm_content=oct7-video

Our new Labour Rights Index is out today!

It checks the labour laws of 168 countries to see which rights workers have, like fair wages, maternity protection, safe work and the right to join a union.

The results show that most countries are moving in the right direction. Of course, a good law only helps if it is followed, and that is still a challenge in many places. But clear laws that workers and employers can easily understand are the first step.

Tomorrow is World Day for Decent Work, and we'll share much more then.
Can you find your country on the map? Tell us its colour in the comments, and whether you think it's fair.

When jobs are hard to find, many people in Latin America turn to apps for work, like delivering food or driving passengers. Chile, Mexico, Uruguay and Colombia have passed laws to protect these workers. A new report says it's a good start, but many important details are still waiting to be worked out.

The good news is that the International Labour Organisation has adopted a new convention on decent work for platform workers, and it could help countries build stronger protections.

Have you or someone you know worked for a delivery or ride app? What would make that work fairer? Share in the comments.

Almost every company is part of a supply chain. It buys from someone and often sells to someone else.

Our experts say companies shouldn't wait for new laws to act. Closing wage gaps takes time, and a good first step is simple: find out where the biggest risks are, compare what workers really earn with a Living Wage, and talk to key suppliers.

Do you think big brands should do more to make sure the people making their products earn enough to live on? Share your thoughts below.

Kristin spends her days spreading fertiliser bags on a palm oil plantation in West Kalimantan.

Her monthly income is only 70% of her district's Minimum Wage.
Meanwhile, Indonesia has just become the first country in the world to mandate B50 biodiesel, and the palm oil sector behind it is expected to employ 18.6 million workers.

But WageIndicator's research found that 38% of surveyed workers earn below minimum wage, and women earn 42% less than men in the sector overall.
