Abstract: We know that equal people deserve to be acted equally from the traditional justice theory. This rule is generally violated and it is especially seen in labour market. Equally skilled labour is not faced the same wage or do not have same chance to work at the same position. In this study, we have investigated gender based wage discrimination in Turkey by using panel data set Income and Living Condition Survey for 2006-2009. This study offers very different perspective from the previous resembling research in many aspects. First, previous studies have extensively used cross-sectional or unbalanced/pseudo panel data. We have used fully balanced panel data in order to show differences from year to year. Second, we have used newly developed estimation technique which is called Recentered Influence Regression. Finally, we have presented additional estimation results from panel data and multilevel modelling. In accordance with the estimation results, some economic policy recommaledations are given.
