Abstract

[eng] Factors for Determining Wages and Salaries . The largest salary disparities were observed between qualifications in 1986. In industry, senior executives and senior engineers earned 3.5 times more than unskilled workers. Men's wages are still higher than women's wages, especially in the engineer and executive grades. Wages increase with age and seniority, which are guarantees of greater professional experience. This experience is better remunerated within companies than on the external market: the positive impact of age is reinforced by that of seniority. . In France, executives from other countries earn higher salaries than the French, but other groups earn lower salaries. Age, sex and nationality are used by employers as the main "signs" of experience, availability and confidence. Wages are higher in large production units than in small and medium-sized production units, and higher in the Paris area than in the rest of France. However, individual factors have an important role to play in the formation of wages, especially for executives. [spa] Los déterminantes del salario . En 1986, la disparidades de salario mâs significativas se registrar! entre las distintas calificaciones : en la industria, un ejecutivo o un ingeniero de nivel superior ganan 3,5 veces mâs que un peôn. Los salarios de los hombres siguen siendo superiores a los de las mujeres, sobre todo para los ingénieras y ejecutivos. El salario aumenta con la edad y la antigùedad, que son los garantes de una experiencia profesional acrecentada. Tal experiencia es mejor remunerada en el seno de una empresa que en el mercado externo ; es asi como un impacto positivo de la antigùedad se anade al de la edad. . Los extranjeros tienen un salario mâs elevado que los franceses si son ejecutivos, mâs bajo en las otras categorîas. La edad, el sexo y la nacionalidad funcionan como "senales" para el empleadorquien las interpréta en términos de experiencia, de disponibilidad o de audacia. Los salarios son mâs elevados en las grandes unidades de producciôn que en las pequenas o medianas y en la region "Ile-de-France" mâs que en provincias. Sin embargo, el peso de factures individuates es importante en la atribuciôn de los salarios, en especial para los ejecutivos. [fre] Les déterminants du salaire . En 1986, les écarts de salaire les plus significatifs s'observent entre qualifications : dans l'industrie, un cadre ou ingénieur de niveau supérieur gagne 3,5 fois plus qu'un manoeuvre. Les salaires des hommes restent supérieurs à ceux des femmes, surtout parmi les ingénieurs et les cadres. Le salaire s'élève avec l'âge et l'ancienneté, garants d'une expérience professionnelle accrue ; cette expérience est mieux rémunérée au sein de l'entreprise que sur le marché externe : un impact positif de l'ancienneté vient ainsi se rajouter à celui de l'âge. . Les étrangers ont un salaire plus élevé que les Français s'ils sont cadres, plus faible dans les autres catégories. L'âge, le sexe et la nationalité fonctionnent notamment comme des "signaux" pour l'employeur qui les lit en termes d'expérience, de disponibilité ou d'audace. Les salaires sont plus élevés dans les grandes unités de production que dans les petites ou moyennes, en Ile-de France qu'en province. Mais le poids des facteurs individuels est important dans la formation des salaires, surtout parmi les cadres.
