This study estimates the human capital (i.e. work experience) component of earnings and found it to be about 1/3 of total compensation for young workers. "Aging" per se thus accounts for a significant proportion of wage growth over and beyond the effects of work experience; however, as individuals grow older the aging effect is less strong.
