Description topics
- The share of compensation of labor (employees and self-employed) in the total earned income of a country.
- Compensation of employees
- The total compensation, in cash or in kind, due by an employer to an employee for the work performed during a reporting period. The compensation of employees is equal to the total of wages and social contributions at the expense of employers.
- Imputed labour income
- Imputed labour income by self-employed and family workers.
- Net operating surplus
- The surplus that remains after compensation of employees and taxes less subsidies on production and imports have been subtracted from the sum of value added at basic prices. For the self-employed (who are part of the sector households) the surplus is called mixed income, it is partly a reward for their entrepreneurship compensation for their labour.
- Remuneration of labour
- Remuneration of labour and capital
