PRIMARY LABOUR MARKETSociologyindex, Labour Market Segmentation, Secondary Labour Market, Primary Labor Market, Sociology Books 2011 Earlier it was thought the market was divided into a primary labour market and a secondary labour market. This was interesting because men dominated the primary market and women and minorities dominated the secondary market. In the theory of labor market segmentation, there exists important differences on the demand side which imply differences in compensation and labor market segmentation theory splits the aggregate labor market into the primary labor market and the secondary labour market. All research on labour markets has shown them to be divided or fragmented. The term used today is ‘Labour Market Segmentation’ suggesting there are many components to the market. Primary labour markets tend to offer high salaries or wages, better working conditions, and more job stability. Primary labour market tends to be found in those sectors of business that are capital intensive. Labour that is required in primary labour market tends to be more skilled and the high costs of labour can often be covered by the profit generated from an efficient plant. In primary labour markets, workers are more apt to be unionized and to be able to make greater wage demands than workers in a secondary labour market even though the primary labour market offers high pay, job security, good working conditions with favourable promotion prospects. A multinomial probit model reveals that Turkish apprentices and those from the other
migrant groups have a significantly lower probability of transition into the primary
labour market, whereas EU15 migrants do not differ from Germans in this respect. - [Labour
