Wage statistics
The National Mediation Office is the agency responsible for providing official statistics on wages and salaries in Sweden. The statistics are produced by Statistics Sweden (SCB)
The task of the National Mediation Office, following consultations with other interested parties, is to order statistics that as far as possible meet the needs of the various users. Important uses for wage statistics include providing background material for the analysis of wage formation and economic developments and research in the social sciences field.
The statistics are to be of a generally informative nature and to reflect any pay differentials that may be due to gender discrimination. They are also be to supplied to the EU and serve as a basis for international comparisons. To shed light on various aspects of pay, wage statistics of different kinds are to be produced.
