The wage gap issue as well as that of income inequality has been a key topic in economics. The supervision of these gaps is essential in terms of labour stimulation and orientation in order to support social progress and to maintain the economic and social cohesion. Starting from a positive approach, but considering the risks of a limiting analysis, in this article, the authors analyzed the determinants of earnings inequality in Romania through an ordered-logit model. The model was based on the following explanatory variables of earnings inequality: gender, age, residence, education and the main sectors of economic activity.
