Labor market segmentation refers to the division of the labor market into distinct segments based on various factors such as skills, education, experience, and social characteristics. These segments can be differentiated by the type of work, wages, working conditions, and opportunities for advancement. This concept suggests that not all workers have equal access to employment opportunities and that certain groups may face barriers or discrimination in the labor market. Labor market segmentation can lead to disparities in wages, job security, and overall economic outcomes for different segments of the workforce.
