Analysis of Wage Inequality in Cyprus

December 22, 2025

Wage inequality in Cyprus has increased and is widespread, affecting various sectors of the economy. From 2021 to the present, average wages have risen by 21%, but this increase is not uniform. The 'Information Services Activities' sector experienced the highest wage increase at 97.1% over the last four years. Meanwhile, 40% of employment categories saw real wage decreases during the same period. This creates disparities and undermines social satisfaction despite positive economic performance.
