This report from the European Industrial Relations Observatory (EIRO) examines wage formation in the EU from a range of perspectives. It analyses the main systems of wage formation in operation and looks at the main wage developments of the past five years. This includes an overview of recent sectoral agreements, along with an analysis of trends at company level and of the social partners’ views. The report also explores key issues pertaining to the minimum wage, including how national rates are set and upgraded. The final section of the report analyses wage formation in the dynamic and fast-growing IT sector, which tends to yield higher wages than elsewhere in the economy.
