“…The return to vocational school is higher than high school by 0.053 log points for males and 0.037 log points for females. The findings are consistent with the studies of Tansel (1994Tansel ( ,1996Tansel ( ,2005Tansel ( and 2008, Ulucan and Çiftçi (2019), and Tansel and Bodur (2012), which demonstrate that vocational or technical high schools increase their wages more than general high schools.…”

“…The increase in the fathers' education level increases the family income up to the median income group, and then the power of influence decreases. Ulucan and Çiftçi (2019) examine the effects of significant increases in the number of universities in Turkey on wages using household data and least squares and quantile regression methods for the years 2007-2017. The results of the study show that the income differences between the highest income group (q90) and the lowest income group (q10) decreased between these years.…”

This article aims to reveal the characteristics of the relationship between education and income distribution in Turkey. Additionally, it examines the role of gender pay gaps in this relationship. In the study, Heckman's two-stage estimation and quantile regression methods were applied by using the data from the Household Labor Force survey of 2017 of TURKSTAT. According to the results of the Heckman two-stage estimation method, increases in education level increase the wage income of women faster than men. According to the quantile regression method, the effect of education on wages is greater for males in low earning segments and higher for females in high earning segments. The results of the study show that increasing the education level of women is the shortest way to reach a higher level of income distribution equality.

“…In a country with such a high youth unemployment rate [7], such as Turkey, young individuals can prefer to study in a low-quality university to postpone unemployment. Ulucan and Ciftci (2019) show that the college premium in Turkey has decreased substantially in recent years, indicating an adverse effect of this poorly planned expansion process. This trend has important consequences for the labor market.…”

Purpose This study aims to analyze the wage differentials of the majors in college education in Turkey, which is a country implementing an ongoing expansion in college education in recent years. Design/methodology/approach The study implements Mincreian wage regression using ordinary least squares, Heckman two-step estimation and quantile regression with sample selection correction by using household labor force surveys of TurkStat from the years 2014–2017. Findings The findings indicate one of the highest heterogeneity, close to 0.50 log points, between majors in the literature. The within-heterogeneity created by majors is highest among the graduates of social-behavioral sciences, law, biology, physics, mathematics, statistics, computer, engineering and manufacturing, as shown by a 90–10 difference, which is almost 700% for some of these majors. This study shows that the natural science and technical majors that are expected to be more productive and to be paid more fall behind in the wage distribution. Research limitations/implications Estimation results show that natural science majors, except for subjects allied to medicine and engineering, are paid lower than law and service-sector-related majors. This indicates that the predictions of the skill-biased technical change hypothesis are not valid in the wage profiles in Turkey and that some majors supply more than the sectoral needs. This casts doubts on the effectiveness of the ongoing higher education expansion process of the country. Originality/value This study contributes to the literature on wage differentials of college majors, an area with limited studies. This is the first study analyzing wage differentials of the field of studies by correcting sample selection bias for the Turkish case.

Çalışmanın amacı Türkiye’de cinsiyetlere göre eğitim ve gelir seviyesinin obezite üzerindeki etkisini araştırmaktır. Bunun için TÜİK tarafından yapılan ve yayımlanan 2019 yılına ait Türkiye Sağlık Araştırmaları anket verileri kullanılmıştır. EKK ve kantil regresyon yöntemleriyle bulunan tahmin sonuçlarına göre eğitim kadınların VKİ değerleri üzerinde düşürücü bir etkiye sahip iken erkeklerin VKİ değerlerini etkilememektedir. Gelir seviyesinde yaşanan artışların ise her iki cinsiyet grubunda da obeziteye yakalanma ihtimalini arttırdığı tespit edilmiştir. Ayrıca çalışmanın sonuç kısmında politika yapıcılara önemli tavsiyeler verilmektedir.
