Abstract :Türkiye’s national education system has undergone significant changes in the last 30 years. The extension of mandatory schooling to eight years in 1997 and the requirement for secondary education in 2012 are significant policy changes that aimed to improve educational attainment in the country. This paper focuses on the impact of 1997 education reform on individual’s earnings. As the paper suggests, the cohort born after 1986, who benefited from the 1997 education reform, experienced higher returns to education, which is reflected in their earnings compared to those born before 1986 with the same level of education and experience. In addition, the impact is greater in females compared to males.Keywords : Beşeri Sermaye, Ücretler, İşgücü Piyasası, Eğitim, Okullaşma, Eğitim Reformu
