Abstract

We have all seen studies showing how the divergence between executive compensation and that of regular employees has grown dramatically. Does the international social work community need to look in the mirror? Do some NGOs have discrepancies between top and bottom salaries that are just as stark as those in the banking world? What kinds of perquisites are bestowed upon the top executives and department heads of some of the larger international NGOs? In the name of being ethically and fiscally responsible, is there a need to explore these remuneration packages or are they a private matter?
