The study analyzed the gender wage gap in the Turkish labor market from 2004 to 2017. Despite women having higher education levels than men, they earn less on average. The research found that discrimination, not differences in skills or education, is the main reason for this wage gap. In 2004, women could have earned 5.2% more than men based on education, but in reality, men earned 15.1% more. This suggests that women face a wage loss of about 20.3% due to discrimination. The wage gap and discrimination effects vary by region, with more developed areas showing higher gaps. Although the wage gap and discrimination have decreased until 2010, they have increased since then. The study concludes that the gender wage gap and discrimination against women persist in the Turkish labor market, but as women's education levels rise, the gap is expected to decrease over time.
