Evidence on the internal labor market during a process of rapid economic growth
1979
Abstract We examine the nature and extent of labor market segmentation in Brazil through a survey of 82 modern sector firms in Sao Paulo. Hiring, training and promotion patterns are found to differ significantly between occupations and a key to understanding these patterns is the nature of skill acquisition, particularly ‘learning on the job’. Furthermore the presence of skill- specificity and internal labor markets for supervisory personnel provide a possible explanation for why relative wages have widened during Brazil's period of rapid economic growth.
