Speaking about money is still taboo in Luxembourg, despite the finance industry's significant role in the economy. Income is traditionally seen as a private matter – often to employers' advantage. In many employment contracts, confidentiality clauses prevent employees from revealing their wages or discussing them with colleagues, and most firms fail to include salaries in job postings.

To promote income transparency, the Instagram account lux_salary_transparency has disclosed information on more than 200 workers' wages in Luxembourg, thanks to individuals anonymously sending their pay slips. The anonymous account owner launched this initiative at the end of 2022 to spark conversations about wages in the Grand Duchy and help workers better understand the salaries in their sector.
