In many countries, a small number of people earn extremely high salaries. Some people believe that this is good for the country, but others think that governments should not allow salaries above a certain level. Discuss both these views and give your own opinion.
Nowadays, money has become an aspect of a country’s development. With a high amount of pay, some societies argue that it would be beneficial for a nation. Conversely, others ensure that the government should manage the level of the salary. The decision-maker should take an action on this occasion to mitigate the unbalanced salaries of their citizens. In my perspective, there has to be a policy to control the companies for paying their employees.
