Abstract
The problem of ‘low-pay’ as a relatively new social phenomenon in Europe has received considerable attention over the past 20 years. The analysis of the low-pay
in low income countries, where the average earning is already low by international standards is more complex and represents a challenging task. The stylised facts show
that earnings are not uniform across the population, but they vary according to a number of socio-economic and demographic characteristics. The aim of this paper
is to assess the earning function of employed workers in Macedonia by paying attention to the difference between low-paid and highly-paid employees. For this purpose, we estimate Mincer type model that explains wage income as a function of education, experience and other employee- and job-specific characteristics. As a result, we come up with a clear picture of the earnings determinants and we
formulate appropriate policy recommendations.
