Paper Summary

The article looks at why men and women still earn different wages even when they have similar education and skills. By analyzing data from a study on adult competencies, the researchers found that in Estonia, men with high skills but low formal education earn more compared to other Nordic countries. This suggests that factors other than education are important for men's wages in Estonia.
