Insa Bechert & Lars Osberg (2023) A few people make all the difference – an international comparison of “fair” pay differentials, International Journal of Sociology, DOI: 10.1080/00207659.2023.2274713
Insa Bechert and Lars Osberg analyze in their paper “A Few People Make All the Difference – an International Comparison of “Fair” Pay Differentials” all five waves of the ISSP Social Inequality module (1987 to 2019) to compare attitudes toward “fair” pay ratios in seven countries, namely Germany, Italy, Hungary, Norway, Great Britain, the USA, and Russia. In line with previous research, empirical findings confirm that a sizeable majority in all countries believe that income differences are too large.
