Abstract: This paper analyzes wage inequality in the Turkish manufacturing sector annually from 1980 to 2001, and also provides some evidence for inequality in the post†2001 period. Using the between†groups component of Theil's T statistic, the paper provides more information on wage inequality. It decomposes the evolution of inequality by statistical regions – The Nomenclature of Territorial Units for Statistics – (i.e. NUTS†1 and NUTS†2). The decompositions show that inequality has increased since the late 1980s in the private sector both between regions of NUTS†1 and NUTS†2.
