The NERI's latest Report Series by NERI economist, Ciarán Nugent analyses four rounds of the survey (2006-2018) and compares the hourly earnings structure in Ireland relative to high-income EU countries (real GDP per capita above €25,000), as well as the UK. Luxembourg is excluded.
The report relies on the data directly available through the Eurostat website. It includes average hourly earnings (or the mean) as well as indicators describing the relationship between earners at three points in the distribution; the bottom (p10), the middle (p50 or the median) and the top (p90). A breakdown by various characteristics is also available (by gender, age group, part-time/full-time, by broad occupation, by broad sector etc.)
