Tall Outwits The Short
If you are tall, you outwit the short. A cliche, that one must have heard from ages. But now, a new page seems to have been unfolded. A study finds that Taller men are able to earn more money than their shorter counterparts.
The study, which was been conducted in Australia, suggests that taller people make more money simply because they are perceived to be more intelligent and powerful. "Our estimates suggest that if the average man of about 5 feet 10 inches gains an additional 2 inches in height," Live Science quoted study co-author Andrew Leigh, an economist at the Australian National University, as saying, "He would be able to earn an extra 950 dollars per year - which is approximately equal to the wage gain from one extra year of labour market experience,"
Arianne Cohen, author of 'The Tall Book' said: "The truth is, tall people do make more money. They make 789 dollars more per inch per year." But the author feels that there is nothing else that differentiates these people other than their height. "They're not nicer. They're not prettier. They're not anything else," says the man, "But they've sort of gotten a halo in society at this point," Cohen said.
Cohen crafted out her book using a 2003 review of four large U.S. and U.K. studies led by Timothy Judge, a management professor at the University of Florida.
Height was found to be more important than gender in determining income and its significance doesn't decline with age. Judge said that being tall might boost self-confidence, helping to make a person more successful and also prompting people to ascribe more status and respect to the tall person.
Cohen says the pay advantage is conferred partly because taller people tend to exude leadership. "Tall people tend to act like a leader from a very young age because other children relate to them like a slightly older peer. In the workplace, when you're automatically acting as a leader, that's really important when it comes time for promotion," she said.
