Abstract:
In this research supply and demand factors regarding skill premium, ratio of revenue of college to non-college workers, in years 1984 to 2012 have been investigated. Three periods 1984 to 1995, 1995 to 2005 and 2015 to 2012 can be identified. In all three periods relative supply of college workers has increased. Demand in the periods have been constant, increasing and decreasing respectively and with the effect of demand has led to decreasing, increasing and decreasing trend of skill premium in these periods respectively. Share of low skilled sectors like construction, trade and agriculture in second period declined which led to increased demand for high skilled labor .An opposite effect occurred in the third period. Decrease of inequality in past years may have been due to decreasing demand for high skilled labor and relative growth of low skilled sectors, and may not be seen as a positive phenomenon
