Compensation of employees measures the total remuneration payable by employers to their employees for work performed, comprising gross wages and salaries (in cash or in kind) and the value of social contributions payable by employers.
This indicator provides a breakdown across key economic sectors: agriculture (including forestry and fishing), industry, and services. All OECD countries compile their data according to the internationally recognized 2008 System of National Accounts (SNA), ensuring comparability and consistency in statistical reporting.
The indicator is measured as a percentage of gross value added.
