REWARD MANAGEMENT
Comparative study of European pay trends
"Suggestions of greater pay moderation and convergence in the countries of the ‘Euro-zone’ have not yet found consistent support from the figures." That is the main conclusion to emerge from an international survey of pay trends by the European Industrial Relations Observatory.
Basic pay increases averaged 3% across the European Union in 2000, a marginal increase on the 2.9% recorded in the previous year.

What is EIRO? The European Industrial Relations Observatory is a major project of the Dublin-based European Foundation for the Improvement of Living and Working Conditions. Established in 1975, the European Foundation is an autonomous body of the European Union.
EIRO gathers and stores information and analysis on developments in industrial relations in the 15 EU Member States, plus Norway, and at European/international level.
It is made up of the 16 National Centres and an EU-level Centre, from which information and analysis flows in to a central unit at the European Foundation. This information is then processed and entered into a database, EIROnline, which is made available through the worldwide web as the main means of dissemination.
