The specific average wage figure for India was not extracted from the ILO Global Wage Report 2024-25 in the search results. Based on the EU average of €39,800/year, a 15:1 ratio implies an Indian average wage of approximately €2,650/year. This figure is consistent with ILO and World Bank data showing Indian average wages in the range of $2,500-$4,000 annually, but the exact ILO figure should be verified.
The Eurostat data for 2024 (€39,800) was published in November 2025. Data for 2025 would not have been fully available by January 2026, but earlier 2023 data showed €37,800 annually.
The comparison uses full-time adjusted salaries for the EU, which may not be directly comparable to wage measures for India that might include part-time or informal sector workers depending on the ILO methodology.
