By 2021, more than one million French people have decided to work abroad. Many reasons lead to this choice: to improve one’s quality of life, to discover a new culture, but also to have a better life. Here are five countries with the highest salaries.
Human rights are not part of the country ranking. In a study published on January 10, TheOrganization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) looked at countries with the highest salaries per individual without children. Note that the cost of living varies from country to country. So the pay is appropriate.
Switzerland
The Swiss Confederation is at the top of this ranking. In fact, a childless Swiss earns a net 5,779 euros per month. A country bordering France, it had almost 180,000 French residents in 2020, making it the country with the most French expatriates.
Netherlands
Four thousand four hundred and twenty two euros net per month. This is the average salary of a Dutchman. As everywhere, economic conditions differ from one city to another. Amsterdam and Rotterdam are ranked among the most expensive destinations in the country.
Luxembourg
On the border of France, if you work in the Grand Duchy, you can earn 4,418 euros net per month. As in Switzerland, the cost of living is very high.
Denmark
In this Scandinavian country, the average salary is estimated at 3,807 euros per month. The government has decided not to work more than 40 hours a week, with a working week of 33 hours.
Germany
A neighbor again. In Germany, the average salary is 3,692 euros per month.
France ranks 17th with an average monthly salary of €2,408.
