The table presents a comparison of teachers' earnings in five different countries, along with the time it takes them to reach the maximum salary. Overall, while Luxembourg stood out as the highest paying country, teachers in the remaining countries earned far less. In addition, Korea, Luxembourg and Japan exhibit a more pronounced discrepancy between the starting and maximum salaries, and achieving the top salary also requires the longest time in these counties.
Looking first of all at Asian countries, teachers in Korea earned an annual salary of $30.500 upon starting their careers, which was considerably more than their Japanese counterparts, who made $28.000. After 15 years of experience, both figures rose to $52.600 and $49.000 respectively. When it comes to the maximum salary, the disparity became even more noticeable, as Korean teachers would obtain an income of $84.500 after 37 years of experience as opposed to teachers from Japan who would make $62.400 after working as a teacher for 34 years.
The difference between teachers’ salaries in the two European countries was staggering. Teachers from Luxembourg were offered $80.000 as a starting salary, well above Danish teachers who made $47.000. Having worked for 15 years, teachers in Luxembourg would generate an income of $112,000, which would then rise to a whopping $139,000 after another 15 years. By contrast, the maximum salary offered to teachers in Denmark was $54,000, which would take only 8 years to reach. This means that teachers with 15-year experience would make the same $54.000.
In Australia, a similar pattern to that of Denmark was observed. The starting salary of teachers was $34.600, and only after 9 years they would reach the maximum salary of $48.000. This remains the same even after 15 years of experience.
