The purpose of this paper is to investigate the effect of human capital investment on productivity wage gap. Furthermore, it tries to estimate the gender productivity wage gap based upon three different ways of estimating wage equations. According to the empirical results, human capital variables increase in individual's wage resulted from increased labor productivity. Moreover, the empirical results also implies that the large portion of the gender wage gap is due to the productivity difference between men and women. In order to get rid of the gender productivity wage gap, the equal opportunities to invest in human capital should be given to men and women at the same time.
