Abstract

(All the metadata come from Statistics Finland: http://tilastokeskus.fi/meta/til/pra_en.html)

Description
Structural statistics on wages and salaries describe the numbers, hourly and monthly earnings, and the formation and distribution of employees’ wages and salaries in all employer sectors.

At intervals of a fixed number of years the statistics also describe annual earnings.

Data content
Numbers of wage and salary earners and hourly, monthly and annual earnings of wage and salary earners by diverse classification variables. Monthly and annual earnings are inclusive of additional items, such as overtime pay, working hour supplements, benefits in kind, performance-based bonuses and other one-off items.

The examination of hourly earnings extends to all employment relationships, including part-time ones, for which earnings for regular working hours per week or hours actually worked and earnings paid for them are known.

The examination of monthly earnings only extends to wage and salary earners employed full time. Employees whose regular weekly working hours exceed 90% of the normal weekly hours worked in the industry are defined as working full time.

The data on individual units must be kept undisclosed.

Classifications used
Employer sector, industry, occupation, education, gender, type of employment relationship, form of remuneration and region.

Data collection methods and data sources
The data derive from Statistics Finland’s data on wages and salaries, which are formed by combining data collected by employer organisations from their members with those from Statistics Finland’s wage and salary inquiries.
