Does it pay to be beautiful?
It is a well-established view amongst economists that good-looking people have a better chance of employment and can earn more than those who are less physically attractive. A "beauty premium" is particularly apparent in jobs where there is a productivity gain associated with good looks, though this varies for women and men, and varies across countries. People sort into occupations according to the relative returns to their physical and other characteristics; good-looking people take jobs where physical appearance is deemed important while less-attractive people steer away from them, or they are required to be more productive for the same wage.
