Faire Löhne: Normen und Fakten

Author

  • Fritz Helmedag

Abstract

In this paper exact criteria are defined in order to identify a “fair” remuneration of the labour power. Due to this principle a point of reference is provided which makes it possible to refer to a “just” level of wages. Thus we are entitled to judge the factual pay as “too high” or “too low”. Finally an assessment of empirical evidence concerning the factor shares in Germany is given.
