چکیده:
Productivity and wages have a two-way relationship, such that on one hand, increasing wages incentivizes workers to exert more effort, and on the other hand, increasing productivity forces firms to compensate more efficient workers. In this regard and in determining this two-way relationship, the role of education is significant. In this study, using industrial workshop statistics based on four-digit codes during the period 1995 to 2002, we examine the relationship between wages and productivity. The research results indicate that with the improvement of labor productivity in the Iranian industry, labor wages have increased; however, the slope of the increase in wages has been less than that of labor productivity, and as a result, a gap between labor productivity and wages has emerged during the studied period. Of course, the increase in the share of employees with higher education has led to the improvement of labor productivity in Iranian industries.

"Dort Werner"{o2o}(2001), in a study on the labor market of Ghana, using an extensive dataset and by designing special questionnaires for interviews with workers and employers, and with a statistical population of 215 firms and 1200 people, addressed the productivity-wage gap, and his results show that the variable of university education is positive and significant in both the wage equation and the productivity equation.
The statistical population of this research included 201 firms and 1610 workers, and his results also show that the effect of university education on labor productivity is greater than its effect on the wages paid to {o(1).

Also, the average long-term elasticity of productivity with respect to wages is equal to: (Refer to the page image) Thus, in the long run, a one percent increase in labor wages leads to a 3.
The positive impact of this coefficient actually states that with the increase of educated employees in the industrial sector, the level of labor productivity has increased more in comparison to the level of wages paid to them, leading to an increase in this gap.
