Segmented Labour Market
A segmented labour market is an economic environment divided into distinct sub-markets, such as the primary and secondary labour markets. These segments function separately, characterized by significant barriers that limit worker mobility between them. Such barriers can arise from factors like racial, linguistic, or other forms of discrimination, leading to different wages, working conditions, and opportunities in each segment.
