Low-wage earners are defined as employees earning two-thirds or less of the median gross hourly earnings in the country of work.<\/p>\n<p>The share of low-wage earners was higher among women than men in 2022 (17.1% compared with 12.6%). In 2018, the shares were 18.2% of female and 12.5% of male employees. Low-wage earners accounted for about a quarter (25.2%) of employees younger than 30. In the older age groups this share was lower: 12.1% among employees aged 30-49, and 13.4% among those older than 50.<\/p>\n<p>The lower the level of a person\u2019s education, the higher the likelihood of being a low-wage earner. In 2022, 27.5% of employees in the EU with a low education level were low-wage earners, compared with 17.5% of employees with a medium level of education and 4.8% of those with a high education level. The proportion of low-wage earners varied significantly among EU countries in 2022.<\/p>\n<p>The highest share was observed in Bulgaria (26.8%), followed by Romania (23.9%), Latvia (23.3%), Greece (21.7%), Estonia (21.2%) and Cyprus (20.0%). In contrast, less than 10% of employees were low-wage earners in Portugal (1.8%), Sweden (4.1%), Finland (6.5%), Italy (8.8%), Slovenia (9.4%) and France and Denmark (9.7% both).<\/p>\n<p>Share of low wage earners in the EU in 2022<br \/>\nIn 2022, the share of low-wage earners recorded in the EU was highest in accommodation and food service activities (35.1%); followed by administrative and support service activities (32.3%), that includes the persons employed by interim agencies.<\/p>\n<p>The type of contract also plays a role: among employees with an employment contract of limited duration, 27.2% were low-wage earners, compared with 12.6% of those with an indefinite contract.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.eubusiness.com\/employment\/1-out-of-7-employees-in-the-eu-on-low-wages\/\">EUbusiness<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/csr-news-en\/1-out-of-7-employees-in-the-eu-on-low-wages-2\/\">1 out of 7 employees in the EU on low wages<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[555,18105],"class_list":["post-137954","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-csr-news-en","tag-eu-on-low-wages"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/137954","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=137954"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/137954\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=137954"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=137954"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=137954"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
