Wage Premiums for Workers With Graduate Degrees: A Comparative Study of Nine Asian Countries

Abstract

This study explores the changes in wage premiums of highly educated employees by gender in major Asian cities in 2019 and 2022. In 2022, the percentage of highly educated employees decreased in some countries amid the COVID-19 pandemic. Parts of the wage premium are explained by wage increases in large firms, managerial positions, and industries to which highly educated employees contribute. Further, the wages of highly educated female employees might have been more affected by the COVID-19 pandemic than those of male employees in 2022. India did not have a robust wage premium, especially in 2022.
