This study sought to find out the relationship between education and wages differentials and other factors that may account for the differences in wages among the various categories of workers as well as to determine factors that lead to investments in higher forms of education. The instrument employed for the investigation is mainly questionnaires. The research targeted a sample size of 100. The population considered was the labor force in Accra. However, considering the target group and how busy they are, resources and not having the luxury of time, we settled for a sample size of 100. The sampling technique employed was convenience sampling. The respondents were public and private sector workers. Pie charts, bar graphs, scatter diagrams and tables were employed to explain the pattern of some variables. Our findings showed that aside education, there were other factors that attributed to the existing wage differentials. Some of these factors include the sex of the worker, sector in which the worker works in, company policy, skills and working conditions. All these are significant causes of wage differentials.
