Calculation method


 
We note that in the EU the hourly wage is used for comparison, Bérbarométer uses monthly wages. Hourly wages are important in countries where part time work is a mass phenomenon. In Hungary, this not yet the case.

In examining differences between the wages of men and women, we used four standpoints:
• filtering part time workers
• filtering self employed workers, those who work in family enterprises, and entrepreneurs
• filtering those who gave no answer concerning their income
• filtering those younger than 22 years and older than 55 years of age.
