Education Mismatches in the Labor Markets and Their Impact on Wages across Sectors: Evidence from Turkey
Öz
The incidence of mismatch and its pay effects vary not only across countries but also across
sectors due to different institutional arrangements. The first aim of the paper is to estimate education
mismatches in the Turkish labor market. Our second aim is to distinguish the impact of education
mismatches on wages in public and private sectors. The results of the analysis show returns on
overeducation are lower than required education in both sectors similar to many other country
examples. Moreover, we also show that wage differences between overeducation and required
education are smaller in the private sector, and through Oaxaca decomposition method most of it can
be explained by endowments. Lastly, the effect of undereducation on wages differs across sectors and
we conclude that human capital model is not applicable to Turkish public sector.

Eğitim uyumsuzluklarının görülme sıklığı ve kazanca etkisi hem ülkeler hem de sektörler
arasında farklılık göstermektedir. Makalenin birinci amacı Türkiye emek piyasasındaki eğitim
uyumsuzluklarının büyüklüğünü hesaplamaktır. İkinci amacımız ise eğitim uyumsuzluklarının
ücretleri özel ve kamu sektörlerinde nasıl farklı etkilediğini ortaya koymaktır. Bulgularımıza göre fazla
eğitimli olmanın getirisi her iki sektörde de diğer ülke örnekleri ile benzer şekilde gereken eğitimin
getirisinden daha azdır. Ayrıca, fazla eğitim ve gereken eğitim arasındaki ücret farkının özel sektöde
daha az olduğu ve Oaxaca ayrıştırma yöntemi ile bu farkın büyük oranda donatım ile açıklanabileceği
gösterilmiştir. Son olarak, az eğitimli olmanın sektörler arasında ücretleri farklı etkilediği ve Türkiye
kamu sektöründe beşeri sermaye modelinin geçerli olmadığı da sonucuna da varılmıştır.
