Height & Wage

Just heard from the News Broadcast on Channel 5
Height has direct relation to our wage.


for every 10cm difference in height,
Man gets 3% more in wage,
Woman gets 2% more in wage.

OH my goodness!
so disadvantaged to be vertically challenged as well.

Read from another source online,
its only the height at 16yrs old that matters.

height at 16yrs old indicates social life, involvement in clubs and activities which means higher EQ

According to Silverman and colleagues, participation in extracurricular and other social activities as a teen-ager may play a significant role in the teen height premium. Playing high school sports is associated with nearly a 12 percent increase in adult wages and participation in every additional club other than athletics correlates to about a 5 percent increase in wages.

Those who were relatively short when young are less likely to participate in social activities like athletics, school clubs and dating that help teens hone their social skills—skills that eventually will help them secure good jobs as adults, they say.

On the side note,
I was reading off the subtitles on the screen while HEARING that piece of news.
The news caster has good pronunciation, no doubt.

Its either because one of my prominent MI is hearing or I hadnt been speaking alot these days.
