Statutory gross monthly minimum wage in PPP international dollars (ILO). Reaches 82 countries where the euro field reaches 22 — a different currency basis and collection, so it is its own field. Countries with no statutory minimum (the Nordics, Austria, Italy…) are empty by design.

How to read this figure

The statutory gross monthly minimum wage from the ILO, in PPP international dollars — what the law requires a month of full-time work to pay, measured in what that pay buys locally. A separate field from the euro minimum wage: different currency basis and collection, and it reaches 82 countries against Eurostat’s 22. The same caveat applies — countries without a statutory minimum (the Nordics, Austria, Italy…) are empty because their wage floors live in collective agreements, not in law.
