Resumen

La teoría de la segmentación del mercado de trabajo es un conjunto de enfoques teóricos que han ido surgiendo desde finales de los años sesenta con el fin de explicar fenómenos como la presencia de desigualdades salariales, la discriminación, la pobreza, el desempleo, entre otros. La idea central de estos enfoques es que el mercado de trabajo está formado por varios segmentos, con mecanismos de determinación salarial y de asignación diferentes entre sí y entre los que hay barreras a la movilidad. El objetivo de este trabajo es identificar los enfoques existentes, sus orígenes, evolución y los matices metodológicos y de contenido que presentan. Al mismo tiempo se exponen los principales problemas que presenta este conjunto teórico en su estadio actual y se sugieren algunas ideas para su revitalización.
