“…The literature that has considered this aspect has tended to make use of cross sectional data and has focused on a range of theoretical approaches that seek to situate labour market outcomes as a function of for example, skills, training and human capital (Becker 1975), labour market segmentation (Peck 1989), the impact of perceived employment opportunities (Humphrey 1940;Long 1958) decision about job search and employment (Kingdon and Knight 2006;Ehrenberg and Smith 2003) or other trade offs between work and non-work (Becker 1976(Becker , 1991van Ham et al 2001). Largely these types of studies have tended to focus on providing detailed summaries of unemployment, discouragement and other marginal attachment for various socio-demographic groups.…”

“…First, there has been a tendency to move away from a dualist formulation towards those which suggest that dualism is simply a heuristic device (McNabb & Ryan, 1990). Second, the mono-causal approaches of early authors have been superseded by multi-causal theories (Peck, 1989). Third, much more emphasis has been placed on the supply side of the labour market.…”

“…The major difference between neoclassical and segmentation theorists lies in the emphasis of the former on the supply side of the labour market and that of the latter on the demand side. Attention is paid to the characteristics of jobs rather than individuals and, moreover, the process of job-creation is seen as analytically prior to job filling (Peck, 1989). The failure of the competitive pressures to eradicate qualitative differences between jobs results in the rationing of 'good' jobs according to rules laid down by employers.…”

“…The majority of employees in the clothing industry in metropolitan areas have been females born in Southern Europe; Australian and New Zealand born females have dominated employment in the regional areas.

The reduced supply of Southern European migrant workers has been supplemented by women recently arrived from Asian countries, especially Vietnam.…”
