Where I live we don't really discuss salaries and I think that mostly comes down to society being tricked into believing it's a bad thing. However our national statistics agency has made salary statistics public, which means anyone easily check their salary range and see if they're being underpaid. I actually prefer that to discussing with co-workers because you end up getting a much better picture of your industry.

In my country I’m only aware of statistics published by a newspaper (source may be statista, some agency or a job portal). I find the values weird however as I earn way above the stated value for my general description. I’m in a bit of a niche however so that might work to my benefit. The statistics still feel like ‘expectation management’ to me though.
