FINDINGS ON THE GENDER PAY GAP IN TURKEY
BASED ON FACTOR-WEIGHTED METHOD
Women in paid employment are better educated than men
Public sector employment rate of women is higher than men's
When the density of these two groups are decreased, the pay gap is higher

gap, taking the following factors into account for working women and men
