This paper examines gender inequalities in the labor market in Turkey with respect to wage differentials as well as industry- and occupational segregation. We employ standard wage regression estimations as well as the Oaxaca decomposition method to explore the wage differentials between men and women and its underlying causes, namely human capital endowments, occupational and industrial segregation and a series of institutional factors such as private/public sector, coverage of the workplace under a collective labor bargain, social security coverage and firm size. We also examine the extent of gender-based industryand occupational segregation within the confines of our data set and compute the Duncan&Duncan segregation index. The data comes from the 1994 Labor Force Participation and Wage Structure Survey by the State Institute of Statistics (SIS), which covers a random sample of approximately 2,800 work places in three industries, namely manufacturing, mining & quarrying, and electricity, gas & water, where a total of 74,000 workers are surveyed through their employers. We find that a large portion of the gender wage gap is attributable to gender based occupational and industrial segregation as well as differences in institutional factors; and that a sizeable unexplained portion remains due to discriminatory workings of the labor market.
