Abstract

This work aims to analyze the articulation between labor segmentation and income inequality in the recent Argentine urban labor market (2010-2019), recovering the theoretical perspective of structural heterogeneity. First, short-term cross-sectional and longitudinal empirical information is presented to provide evidence in relation to: a) labor segmentation in the argentine occupational structure; and b) the mobility patterns of urban argentine labor. In the second instance, the factors that should influence the determination of remuneration are addressed, especially considering the presence or absence of differential effects for groups of the workforce that record disparate occupational trajectories in the short term. Thus, the aim is to analyze whether the structural gaps between sectors of employment demand translate into differential patterns of short-term occupational mobility, and whether these disparate work trajectories are reflected in income asymmetries for workers with similar attributes. To do this, the micro-data from the Permanent Household Survey (EPH-iINDEC) will be used in its continuous mode, for a set of window years.
