Teacher's Salaries in Comparison with Other Occupational Groups

FREDRIKSSON Ulf (2008)

European Commission

The purpose of this study is to analyse whether UBS provides internationally comparable information on how teachers' salaries stand in relation to the salaries of other occupational groups. On the basis of an overview of existing international data, UBS is identified as the only source that provides comparable information on teachers' salaries in relations to other occupational groups. This information is contained in Prices and Earnings Around the Globe, a study published every three years by the Union Bank of Switzerland (UBS). This study has been conducted since 1971 and provides, among other things, information on the salaries of a number of professions, among them primary teachers. The data from UBS make it possible to compare teachers' salaries with those of other occupational groups in twelve cities in the EU, EEA and Candidate Countries during the period 1979 to 2006.
