    • Compensating differential, which is also called

    a compensating wage differential or an equalizing


    difference, is defined as the additional amount of
    income that a given worker must be offered in
    order to motivate them to accept a given
    undesirable job, relative to other jobs that worker
    could perform.
    How do you explain wage differential?
    A wage differential refers to the difference in
    wages between people with similar skills within
    differing localities or industries. It can also refer to
    the difference in wages between employees who
    have dissimilar skills within the same industry.
    For example :
    if a certain line of work requires someone to
    work around hazardous chemicals, then that job
    may be due a higher wage when compared to
    other jobs in that industry that do not
    necessitate coming into contact with dangerous
    chemicals.
    Factors affects wages :

    1.Credencials
    2.Experience and skills
    3.Industry or employer
    4.Job task
    5. Geographic location
    6.Success and performance
    What is the connection of Compensating Wage
    Differentials to Labor Economics?

    These wage differentials are mostly the result of


    differences in worker ability and the workers' effort in
    performing the job, but may also result if the job is unionized,
    since the goal of labor unions is to increase compensation
    over and above what would otherwise be provided based on
    free market conditions.
    What is the importance of compensationg differentials?

    Wage differentials have a great economic and social


    significance, for they are directly related to the allocation of
    the economic resources of a country, including manpower,
    growth of the national income, and the pace of economic
    development. Facilitate the most desirable rate of economic
    progress.
    Concept of compensating wage
    differentials:

    Both the compensating wage


    differential theory and the effi-
    ciency wage hypothesis predict
    that wage rates are affected by
    pecuniary and nonpecuniary
    attributes. The compensat- ing
    wage differential refers to a
    worker's willingness to pay (or
    forgo income) for desirable job
    Compensation strategy typically includes four key
    components:

    Base pay-Base pay refers to an employee's salary or


    hourly pay for their particular job.

    Incentive pay- Financial reward for performance rather


    than pay for the number of hours worked. The idea is
    the prospect of financial compensation will motivate the
    employee to hit certain performance figures or financial
    targets.

    Employeebenefits- These benefits may include, group


    insurance (health, dental, life etc.) retirement benefits,
    education loan, other loans (house loan, vehicle loan
    etc), sick leaves, vacation as well as flexible alternative
    arrangement.
    What is the connection of population to Labor Economics?

    Changes in the working-age population's size can have a big


    effect on the economy and the job market. Growing numbers of
    people who are working age present both potential for economic
    growth and difficulties for new workers' absorption into the labor
    force.
    What is the difference between population and labour
    force?
    Labor represents the human factor in producing the goods
    and services of an economy. finding enough people with
    the right skills to meet increasing demand. This often
    results in rising wages in some industries.
    .
    What is the relationship between population and labor
    supply?
    The relationship between population growth and economic
    development is also discussed. Population growth raises the
    productive capacity of the economy by increasing the supply of
    labour, labour supply, capital accumula- tion and technological
    progress together govern economic growth.
