Wage inequality is a well-established phenomenon of contemporary labour markets both in the United States and Europe, frequently discussed in the contemporary labour economics literature. In the following paper, based on harmonised data of the EU-SILC database, a semi parametric technique of quantile regression has been applied together with the traditional OLS method in order to estimate the impact of returns to education on wages in the Visegrad Group countries, namely the Czech Republic, Poland, Hungary and Slovakia. The main aim of the analysis is to examine the returns to education in these countries in order to observe differences appearing across them as well as within selected groups formed according to both the highest level of education attained and a number of years spent in a paid work (experience).
