Easy richer tall?

According to a study by the University of Sydney in conjunction with the Australian National University, Canberra, tall men make more money than their humble colleagues.

A 1.83 m tall man earns 1.5% more money than those who only have a height of 1.7 m.

The study was conducted based on a comparison of the salaries of 20,000 Australians with their height and weight. Scientists have found that the heights and salaries are proportional.

Higher people easily earn more money.

Andrew Leigh, an economist at the University of Canberra, and author of the study, said: 'We found that taller people earn more. For example, an average man in our study has a height of 1.7 m. And we calculated that if he is 1.83 m tall, he can earn an extra 1.5% or 950 USD / year '.

He added: 'The salary difference of 5 cm in height is equivalent to more than one year of experience in the labor market. However, the impact of height on women's wages is not as much as that of men, almost negligible. '

According to Professor Leigh, more research is needed to determine the exact cause of height problems. He led two assumptions: 'Firstly, people with a high appearance often receive the attention and respect from the people around them, and it is an advantage that helps them to be' preferential '. Secondly, it is due to discrimination, small people are often not recognized for their ability. "
