Imagine you and your friend both help clean up a park. You get $10, but your friend gets only $5, even though you did the same amount of work. That feels unfair, right? People decide on fair salaries based on things like how much they think their job is worth, what others are earning, and sometimes just how much they want to be paid.
Examples
- Your teacher says everyone should earn the same, but the principal thinks some students work harder than others.
- Two people do the same job in different companies, one earns more because their company has a bigger budget.
