  2. Future Wage Indicator  • How it started: What should be my Salary? – Good question, nobody knows! Let's find out for myself, my cleaning lady, the nanny. Let's find out for everybody on the labour market. Not only the white male top end. • 10 years ago: Dutch initiative - Non Profit – Board: University of Amsterdam + Dutch Confederation of Trade Unions + Monster.com • Today:Worldwide platform covering more then 60 countries. Formal and informal economies, small and large. Weak and Strong Operations. • Websites and offline format: 1)Wages and Benefits by Occupation –  Minimum Wages – VIP Wages - 2) Labor Law – 3) Special attention for Women, Men, Youth, Elderly on the Labour market – 4) Career Advice - International Comparison • Contribution to: Transparency - Awareness  Compliance  Social Peace and Justice • Natural Parters: Academic World, Media, Social Partners, Governement - but above all individual Employees, Workers, MSME

  3. Future Wage Indicator  • Mozambique: 50 respondents. 20 women. 40 have 2 x minimum wage. More men earn minimum. Information comes through print and meusalario, a bit TV, a bit more employers then trade unions. • Zambia: 30 respondents. 17 women. 25 have 2x minimum wages. Information through Trade unions and Media and Mywage. (not from friends, or employers or colleagues) • South Africa: 15 respondents. 12 women. 7 have 2 times minimum. Information through media/mywage. Follwed by family members). • Increased awareness and compliance: MOZ – 40 out of 50 say YES. ZA – 11 out of 15 say Yes. ZM: 30 out of 30 say YES • Increased awareness and higher minimumwage: MOZ 15 out of 50. ZA – 14 out 15 say YES. Zm: 30 out of 30 say yes. • Increased awareness and strikes: MOZ 50 out of 50 say YES. Za 8 out of 15 say YES. ZM say 30 out 30 say YES • Increased awareness and happyness: MOZ - 13 out of 50 say yes. ZA 11 out of 15 say yes. ZM 30 out of 30 say YES. • Increased awareness and food riots: MOZ – 20 out of 50 say YES. ZA. 12 out of 15 say yes. ZM. Nonsense. • Increased awareness and migration: MOZ 5 out of 50 say yes. ZA 7 out of 15 say yes. ZM – zero. • LESSONS: Learned: • Information is needed • Information through Trade Unions and Employers is less then through media. Media MyWage, MeuSalario play crucial role. • Correlation between increased awareness and compliance is misplaced • People who earn more then twice the minimum still have lack of understanding what is minimum wage. • Strategy: • Explanation what is the minimum wage and why is it needed • Focus on compliance more explicit • Separate focus on improving systems if needed.
