Abstract [eng]
This thesis focuses on the average hourly wage situation in Lithuania for different genders and employs statistical modelling techniques to analyze whether globally defined wage disparity problems are present in Lithuania. Occupational segregation as well as human capital theory are explored measuring the impact of education, work experience and different occupational spheres impact on the average wage for men and women. The analysis confirms a persistent gender wage gap in Lithuania, with men consistently earning higher wages than women.
