“…Moreover, the lack of options available to workers limit their ability to demand primary sector type jobs. Generalizing from the textile indusuy in New England, plants in this situation tend to be organized more closely along the lines of 'perfect' secondary employment (Horn, 1980). Thus, as EMC rises in some industries in the MSA, the divergence between industries in the primary and secondary sector becomes more extreme, and more individuals are likely to be trapped in the secondary sector.…”

This study tests for the existence of labour market segmentation by exploiting the variation in industrial structure across 59 labour market areas, as defined by MSAs. By creating an index of the relative explanatory power of standard and segmented earnings function models for each area, empirical evidence supports the hypothesis that segmentation exists and that the index reflects the degree of segmentation in local labour market areas.

“…Dolayısıyla bu piyasa kötü işleri barındırmaktadır. Kötü iş; düşük ücretli, iş güvencesinin olmadığı, kariyer fırsatının çok sınırlı olduğu ya da olmadığı, çalışma koşullarının kötü ve yüksek işgücü devrinin olduğu, sendikalaşmanın ve yan ödemelerin olmadığı, sosyal hakların çok az elde edildiği, kısa süreli ve genellikle keyfi ve kaprisli bir yönetimin olduğu işlerdir (Doeringer & Piore, 1970;Hudson, 2007: 272;Lazear & Oyer, 2004: 531;Piore, 1972;Hudson, 2007: 288;Dickens & Lang 1988: 132;Reich et al, 1973;Wachter, 1974;Osterman, 1975;Horn, 1980;Anselme & Weisz, 1985;Rebitzer & Robinson, 1991;Lamotte & Zubiri-Rey, 2008;Kalleberg et al, 2000). İşgücü piyasasındaki kötü/ikincil işler rutinleşmiş nitelik taşırken, iyi/birincil işler yaratıcılık gerektirmektedir (Reich et al, 1973: 360).…”

Young people are at a disadvantage in terms of work and working conditions compared to adult workers in Turkey as in the rest of the world. This study analyses the quality of the jobs that young people are employed in through the "Labour Market Segmentation Theory" and assesses the factors affecting this situation. This framework divided jobs into 'good' and 'bad' jobs following the relevant theory. The 2019 TUIK Household Labour Force Survey Micro Data Set (HIAMVS) is utilized in the analysis. The young population range is a 15-29 age group, similar to ILO's "Global Employment Trends for Youth" reports. Probit model results indicate that jobs are segmented, supporting the theory. According to the findings, the socio-demographic characteristics of young people, the sector they work in, their occupation, and the region they live in significantly affect the probability of employment in a good job.

“…Firms in highly monopolized markets or in industries with high innovation rates or f m s producing highly specialized services such as financid institutions will usuaIIy have a large part of the work force at the managerial level. Other firms operating in competitive markets with standardized products and low innovation rates will have a much higher percentage of the workforce at the production level (see for example Horn, 1980;Nowak, Crockett, 1983). It is this character of firms which usually leads to the classification of whole f m to the primary or secondary segment.…”

Segmentation, Mobility and the Spatial Distribution of Activities

The paper discusses the relationship between labor economics' segmentation theory and the polarization theories of regional economics. It is argued that labor market segmentation and regional disparities are fundamentally related and that one is both cause and consequence of the other. The argument is developed around the locational requirements of various functions of entreprises on the one hand and worker's schooling and migration decisions on the other. As can be shown, interregional labor mobility that is usually considered to be an important factor in equilibrating regional disparities enforces the interregional differentiation in a model allowing for a segmented labor market. The paper closes with reference ot a few fundamental hypotheses that can be derived from the model and cites empirical evidence supporting this view.
