Chapter 15 Appendix A

Theoretical study of salaries in groups with different age / salary structures.
Suppose there is two groups A and B that both have flat age distributions.
Group B have a flat salary distribution in general, in group A the oldest
employees earns twice as much as the youngest in general.

Salary structure of Group A and Group B

Figure 15.1: Salary structure of Group A and Group B

During the year both group A and B increase the sum of all salaries for
respective group by two percent.

Salary raise by 2.0%

Figure 15.2: Salary raise by 2.0%

Suppose that each groups increase is divided equally to the employees within
respective group.

Salary increase distribution over age Group A

Figure 15.3: Salary increase distribution over age Group A

Suppose that each groups increase is divided equally to the employees within
respective group.

Salary increase distribution over age Group A

Figure 15.4: Salary increase distribution over age Group A

The oldest employees retire and new adolescents enter the job market. Suppose
that the starting salary for respective group is determined by the
age / salary structure.

Salary distribution Group B after one year succession

Figure 15.5: Salary distribution Group B after one year succession

The oldest employees retire and new adolescents enter the job market. Suppose
that the starting salary for respective group is determined by the
age / salary structure.

Salary distribution Group A after one year succession

Before next years salary revision the sum of the salaries have increased by
2.0 % for group B and only 0.31% for group A
