Gender Wage Gap - a Matching Analysis for Three MENA Countries : Egypt, Jordan and Turkey

We investigate the gender wage gap in three neglected MENA countries: Egypt (1980-2018), Jordan (2010-2016), and Turkey (2014-21017). We use repeated cross-sections and propensity score matching as the best way to control for observed heterogeneity. We find a much more sizeable gap than in advanced economies, but with a downward trend similar to advanced economies, reaching in Jordan a low of -0.18
