Reading the data
What the figures say about Cambodia
In Cambodia, the statutory minimum wage is USD 210 per month, and employees work an actual 47 hours per week. The average monthly wage figure in the source data reads USD 1160637 per month, a value that looks inconsistent with the minimum wage and the GDP per capita of $2872, so it should be checked against the original ILOSTAT series before use. On the cost side, the corporate tax rate is 20%, the top personal income tax rate is 20%, and standard VAT is 10%. Exit costs include statutory severance of 11.4 weeks, as measured in 2019, and a notice period of 5 weeks. Employees are owed 18 days of statutory annual leave and 21 public holidays, along with 12.9 weeks of maternity leave, while paternity leave is none (0 weeks). The retirement age is 55 years, and the labour force stands at 10.4 million people with an unemployment rate of 0.26%.
