Aims of the Course The aim of this course is to examine the economic and social functions of wages, the main theoretical approaches explaining wage determination, and the causes of wage differentials, and to evaluate wage systems and wage policies from the perspective of labour economics and industrial relations. The course covers the determinants of wages, the relationship between labour productivity and wages, wage differentials, minimum wages, collective bargaining, nominal and real wages, wage inequality, and gender pay gaps. It aims to enable students to analyse wage determination processes, evaluate the effects of different wage policies on workers, employers, and income distribution, and develop policy recommendations for fair remuneration.
