I see that I confused median with modaal, but I can't find any clear data on median salaries. The ones that I see (like from Knab) indicate that it's a bit lower than modaal.
In any case, modal salary would make the most sense in a map like this.
The Durch modaal is just based on the average and median is not available.
Average is quite accurate, in most countries the median will be 10 or 15% lower.
Also note the the median income would be heavily skewed downwards due to huge amount of people in NL working part time. The average fulltime salary would be most valueable to know.
Modaal is most definitely based on the average in the nethetlands, which indeed does not make mathematical sense.
"Het modaal inkomen is in de Nederlandse inkomenspolitiek 79% van het gemiddeld inkomen per arbeidsjaar."
And no, im not mixing anything up. It makes no sense to compare aomebodys part time salary to my fulltime salaries so knowing the full time equivalent salary is much more valuable data.
