Measuring Wages Worldwide: Exploring the Potentials and Constraints of Volunteer Web Surveys - April 2013

[Pp 78-97 in N. Sappleton] This chapter discusses the potentials and constraints of using a volunteer Web survey as a worldwide data collection tool for wages, such as the WageIndicator web survey. It provides a detailed description of the bias related to individual-level wages and core socio-demographic and employment-related variables across selected developed and developing countries and evaluates the efficiency of post-stratification weights in adjusting these biases. The results confirm that Web samples are particularly attractive to younger persons, part-timers, and persons working in non-manual occupations.
