Wages in the world with the worst behavior, says the ILO – Prensa Latina

December 15, 2016 17:08Geneva, dec 15 (PL) The salaries in the world, rose 1.7 percent in 2015, which was the lowest level in four years, but the situation is worse if the calculation excludes China, warned today the ILO.

According to the International Labour Organization (ILO), the remuneration aminoraron its pace of growth going from 2.5 per cent in 2012 to 1.7 per cent the previous year, although the fall shows significant disparities by countries and regions.

payments in China grew at a faster rate than in any other part of the planet; if the statistics no longer count this contribution, the overall increase would hardly be of 0.9 percentage points in 2015.

After the financial crisis of 2008-2009, the increase in the real wage began to recover in 2010, but returned to fall from 2012 onwards, said the study.

Among the emerging and developing countries that are part of the G20, the rise of the real wage declined by 6.6 per cent in 2012 to 2.5 percentage points in 2015, noted the ILO.

While in the industrialized states of the G20, there was an increase from 0.2 per cent in 2012 to 1.7 in the previous year, which represented the highest rate in 10 years.

in the opinion of the deputy director-general of ILO Policies, Deborah Greenfield, is worrying the evolution of wages, because of their potential effects on the incomes of households and the deterioration of the consumption, which can contribute to deflation.

The agency, belonging to the United Nations system, also alerted about the disparity in the distribution of income, which ‘is more acute in the top’ of the pay scale.

salaries will go up gradually by levels, but increase drastically for the 10 percent located in the high end of the scale, and even more for the one percent of employees with better compensation, illustrates the research

In Europe, 10 percent of the workers are better paid perceived as average 25.5 percent of the total volume of wages paid to all workers in their respective countries, that is, receives 50 percent of the lowest paid workers, illustrated the report.

The difference of 10 percent of the workers are better paid is even larger in some emerging economies such as Brazil, India and south Africa, underpins the ILO.

Neither the iniquity because of their gender tends to descend: the pay gap per hour between men and women in Europe is around 20 percent, and for the top one percent in the highest range of salaries comes to be 45 percent.

according To the source, in 2015, real wages in Latin America and the Caribbean declined by 1.5 per cent, to a large extent by the situation in Brazil.
