The WICARE project uses online questionnaires set up on the international network of Wage Indicator websites. These are available in national languages along with paper versions of the survey.
The project runs until November 2014 and EPSU is working with researchers at AIAS (Amsterdam, The Netherlands) and CELSI (Bratislava, Slovakia).
The project, WICARE, is similar to the earlier project WISUTIL which focused on pay and conditions in energy, waste and water.
