Influence of expected wages on occupational choice: new evidence from Inner Mongolia

Abstract

Occupational choice is modelled as a function of expected wages in each of a number of occupational regimes, using data from a region of Inner Mongolia whose economy is relatively undeveloped and which remains heavily dominated by state activity. The results share much in common with similar studies conducted using data for developed Western economies, but in contrast to the latter there is evidence of labour market segmentation.
