Race and Labor Market Segmentation

  • Chapter
Sourcebook of Labor Markets

Part of the book series: Plenum Studies in Work and Industry ((SSWI))

Abstract

In its simplest conception, labor market segmentation is the idea that there are sets of positions in the labor market whose characteristics systematically differ in a way that affects both their recruitment/hiring/promotion processes and their reward processes (Kalleberg and Berg 1994; Lang and Dickens 1994; Sakamoto and Chen 1991; Hodson and Kaufman 1982). It is thus a recognition that the processes that match people to jobs have implications for understanding how and why inequality in labor market rewards is distributed across people. While a major focus was (and continues to be) on how the characteristics of positions affect a variety of labor market outcomes for individuals, one of the original motivating questions for this literature was to understand and explain racial differences in labor market outcomes (Hodson and Kaufman 1982; Gordon 1972; Bluestone 1970).
