In particular, the Gini coefficient has been excluded, despite its popularity, because irregularities across the wage distribution that characterize wage inequality are often missed when estimating such a measure: for example, when two Lorenz curves intersect, reflecting different patterns of wage distribution – including the possibility of changes for a country between periods – this can nevertheless result in very similar estimates of the Gini coefficient (see Atkinson 1975).

There are only a few countries for which data were collected in 2022 or later, which is the period where inflation peaked and the assumption of wages growing in line with inflation might be more problematic. ▶ The second step involved adjusting the number of wage workers to what was observed in 2021 for countries whose survey data are not from 2021.

This was done by weighting each wage worker in each of these countries by the rate of growth (or decline) in wage employment between the survey year and the year 2021. ▶ The third step entailed adjusting wages to account for differences in purchasing power by using the PPP conversion factor for private consumption (local currency unit per 2021 international US$). ▶ The fourth and final step was to weight the wage of each employee according to their survey weight.

We could estimate the share of low-paid workers for each of the two groups separately and then take the (weighted) average of the two to come up with a measure of low-paid among all workers, but this would not be the same as “treating all workers as if describing a single labour income distribution”, which is a final objective if what we want is to study “by how much does inequality change if we add non-wage workers into the estimation”.
