About the Structure of Earnings Survey

The Structure of Earnings Survey (SES) is a nationwide survey of Irish employees that provides detailed information on Earnings Statistics. It is a compulsory survey carried out in all European Union member states by institutes including the Central Statistics Office (CSO).

Data from this survey will be used by government departments, agencies and others to help inform debate and enable crucial decisions to be made on topics such as the national minimum wage and the gender pay gap.
