Paper Summary

The gender wage gap in the Turkish labor market has widened over the past decade. This means that women are earning less compared to men. The increase in the wage gap is mainly due to discrimination in the labor market, rather than differences in characteristics between genders. If women had the same characteristics as men, they would still earn less. This shows that gender discrimination in the labor market is getting worse.
