I think a lot of people in commonwealth countries have no understanding of how productive and valuable a young male worker is. I got this from an itinerant professor who was educated in the UK and practiced in the United States.
In commonwealth countries they bleed young males dry and tax most of their salary away to pay for social programs like medical care for the elderly single mother care for the single mothers, free or mostly free education for the masses, and early retirement for everyone! These high tax rates further depress the salaries of the young engineers! who wants to give 75 cents of every dollar to the government??
In the United States we don't do that BS and the salary 100% pays for retirement, healthcare, education, etc that part is not something skimmed by the governement! This is why our young workers supposedly make the big bucks: because they are more responsible and are held accountable by the economy.
I think you don't know how "productive and valuable" a young female worker also is.
"medical care for the elderly" - which includes many once-young males.
"single mother care for the single mothers" - and paid paternity leave for the fathers, and single father care for the single fathers. (At least in the more feminist of countries.)
"free or mostly free education for the masses" - of which about half will become young adult males
"early retirement for everyone" - including those once-young males
"who wants to give 75 cents of every dollar to the government - what Commonwealth country are you talking about? I don't think any of them even have that high a rate for the upper tax bracket.
"we don't do that BS and the salary 100% pays for retirement ..." - We certainly do! Let me introduce you to payroll taxes - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Payroll_tax#United_States . Sure, it's not directly part of your paycheck, but it lowers your effective salary, and it pays for Social Security ("retirement"), Medicare ("healthcare"), and unemployment.
"they are more responsible and are held accountable by the economy" - ROFL! https://www.fool.com/retirement/2016/12/17/baby-boomers-aver... - "roughly half of all baby boomers have set aside only $100,000 or less" and 37% have less than %50K. GenX isn't doing all that well either.
