Dataset is not available.
This table contains index figures of the quantification of the development of the contractual wage, labour costs and working hours of employees in the Netherlands. The table contains index figures on a number of elements contained in the collective labour agreements (in Dutch: cao), namely wages per month and per hour including and excluding special payments, contractual wage costs (per month and per hour) and contractual working hours. In addition, it presents developments calculated on the basis of these indices and the percentage of collective labour agreements completed.
Data available from: 1972, for the annual figures (up to and including 2009 to a limited extent) and from 2010, for the monthly figures and quarterly figures.
Status of the figures:
All the figures from 1972 to 2022 are definitive.
The figures for 2023 are provisional. Because this table is discontinued, figures will not be updated anymore.
Changes as of 7 December 2023:
None, this table is discontinued.
When will new figures be published?
Not applicable anymore.
This table is replaced by Cao wages, contractual wage costs and working hours; index (2020=100) See paragraph 3.
Description topics
- Percentage of cao's concluded
- Percentage of cao's concluded
This is the ratio of concluded versus the total number of collective agreements observed in this statistic (per month).
This includes the relative weight of collective agreements.
The weight is determined by the sum of all wages covered by the collective agreement.
The cao share on which these index figures are based indicates the degree to which provisional index figures might still change.
Collective agreements can also be retroactively concluded.
