It seems to me that pay is almost never the reason people quit academic research careers. It's the uncertainty, the short contracts, and the necessity of brutal hours in the early career stages. Sure, terrible conditions like these can in some sense be offset by pay, but I suspect everyone is better off if that isn't the mechanism used.
