ABSTRACT
This study analyzes the determinants of wage level of first-time workers in the information and telecommunication sector using individual variables on the personal level, and institutional level variables. The difference in the wage level among the first-time workers in the IT area is the result of individual factors as major/job compatibility, age, gender, and graduating from day/night school. Particularly, non-engineering majors, night school graduates face discrimination in their wage, and an integrated wage system urgently needs to be established to address the problem.
