Note: [English Title] Basic Human Capital Theory: The Case of Turkey [English Abstract] The topic of wage differentials is a frequently problem in the labor markets of developing countries such as Turkey. These wage differentials can arise from the market imperfections as well as the individual quality differences. Individual wage differences are arise from the differences at the rural and urban areas employees’ access to the education, the health services and the level of development and the other reasons. Wage differences arising from the individual quality differences find a large place in The Human Capital Theory. These quality differences reflect on wages over time and lead to income differences between the individuals. The aim of this study is to analyze income differences between male and female employees for public and private sector in rural and urban areas in Turkey. Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) and Quantile Regression (QR) Models results by using TURKSTAT’s Household Labor Force Survey micro data set of 2011 are comparatively discussed. Number of studies that have been made in the literature under the QR model and wage differentials in the labor market has limited. This study will contribute to the limited literature in terms of basic human capital as well as the extended models [English Keywords] Wage Differentials, Human Capital Theory, Quantile Regression Approach
