Important notes on the graph above:a) Germany currently has no national minimum wage. While statutory minimum wages exist, they vary according to industry and region. (德国目前没有国家最低薪资。法定最低工资存在,随行业和地区有变动) b) Denmark, Italy, Austria, Finland, Sweden, Iceland, Norway and Switzerland do not have legally determined minimum wages. Salaries are regulated by industry, company or individual agreements. (丹麦,意大利,奥地利,芬兰,冰岛,挪威,瑞士,瑞典没有法定最低工资。薪资由行业,公司或者个别协议决定) c) For countries where wages are paid out in 14 installments (Greece, Spain and Portugal), salaries have been adjusted into 12 monthly installments. (这些国家诸如希腊,西班牙,葡萄牙,体力劳动者薪水分14次发放,非体力劳动者薪水调整为12次发放) d) The minimum wages above are the gross amounts paid to full-time workers over 23 years of age (before personal income taxes and social security contributions). (上面提到了,是全职且23岁以上,税前且未扣除福利等) e) The wages above apply to full-time employment (approximately 40 hours per week in most of the countries included). (全职在大部分图表里的国家中是指每周40小时。这里注明一下:荷兰可以是36小时或是38小时的哦~~) f) Six countries have not yet published their adjustments of minimum wages, as far as the author was able to ascertain: Luxembourg, Ireland, France, Slovenia, Croatia and Slovakia. In these cases, the wages for July 2012 are included. The United Kingdom updated its minimum wage in October 2012. (图表中数据,6个国家是引用2012年7月的数据:Luxembourg, Ireland, France, Slovenia, Croatia and Slovakia.UK的数据则是2012年10月更新的。其余是2013年1月的数据) h) There is no ‘precise’ way to compare wages. Purchasing Power Parity corrects the differences in average costs of living between countries, but does not take into account the possible variations in price levels between cities within the same country. Moreover, many other factors may play a role, such as the number of children in a household, or the cost of pre-schooling. (没有精确的方法来比较薪资。购买力能够纠正国家间的平均生活费之间的差异,但是不能够对同一国家不同城市间物价水平可能存在的差异加以考量。同时还有其他因素也起着作用,如家里养的孩子的个数,或是学龄前花费) |
