Abstract

Utilizando la Encuesta Continua de Hogares para las trece áreas metropolitanas de Colombia, en este trabajo se examina la hipótesis de segmentación del mercado laboral urbano en cada año del período 2001-2006. Se encuentra evidencia de segmentación entre empresas formales grandes y el resto (segmentación intrarregional o de escala), y entre Bogotá y las demás áreas metropolitanas (segmentación interregional)
