We use repeated cross-sections and propensity score matching as the best way to control for observed heterogeneity. We find a much more sizeable gap than in advanced economies, but with a downward trend similar to advanced economies, reaching in Jordan a low of -0.18.}, keywords={gender wage gap;propensity score matching;Turkey;Jordan;Egypt}, }
