CREDI Joins the WageIndicator Network: Advancing Labor Market Transparency in the Western Balkans
After years of productive collaboration, CREDI has officially become a member of the WageIndicator network, a globally recognized consortium of 14 research institutes dedicated to enhancing transparency in labor markets worldwide. This partnership strengthens our commitment to high-quality labor market research and reinforces our role in advancing fair wages, labor rights, and employment conditions in the Western Balkans.
The WageIndicator Foundation is an independent, multinational, non-profit organization that collects, analyzes, and disseminates data on a wide range of labor-related topics. Its mission is to improve labor market transparency by providing accessible, research-based insights for workers, employers, and policymakers. The foundation focuses on key areas such as:
- Actual wages and income levels
- Minimum and living wages
- Labor laws and worker rights
- Gig and platform work
- Collective bargaining agreements
- Job market trends and employment conditions
By making this data publicly available, WageIndicator empowers individuals and organizations to make informed decisions, advocate for fair wages, and promote decent work conditions globally.
As a coordinator for the WageIndicator network in the Western Balkans, CREDI is responsible for organizing data collection and analysis across the region. This effort is crucial for understanding wage structures, employment trends, and working conditions in the region, contributing to evidence-based policymaking and labor market improvements.
To ensure high-quality data collection, CREDI collaborates with dedicated research experts from each country within the network. The WB-MiGNet team members responsible for data collection in their respective countries are:
- Albania: Elvisa Drishti
