Abstract

A highly segmented labour market usually favours a mismatch between supply and demand, significantly limiting the functional flexibility and the resilience of markets to macroeconomic shocks. Labour market segmentation can be done according to several criteria: type of employment, length of employment, salary level, gender, ethnicity, age, etc. When the labour market segmentation is based on discriminatory attitudes, the propagated effects may adversely affect the economic, social and territorial cohesion status of a country. In this paper, authors analyze the main forms of discrimination at regional level, using the following indicators for the time horizon 1992-2008: the Duncan Index, The Moir and Selby-Smith segregation indicator (MSS), The Karmel and Maclachan index (IP) for wage gap and occupational segregation by gender. Although virulent discrimination does not occur on the Romanian labour market, this phenomenon may delay the process of modernization and effective integration in the single European market.
