Agreements coded in the database, by bargaining level

Eurofound selected a sample of 692 agreements to be included with complete information (fully coded) in the database. Altogether, the database contains 885 listed agreements in the 24 low-paid sectors of interest for this study in the EU27.

Agreements were selected on a country-by-country basis, with the aim of selecting a sample in each country that could be considered representative of the country’s collective bargaining in the low-paid sectors considered.
