How are the work trajectories of Chilean women? This qualitative study analyzes the female work trajectories through interviews and biograms in a sample of 50 Chilean women, professionals and non-professionals, between the ages of 24 and 88. The article proposes an original typology of female work trajectories and relates type of work trajectory with Piore’s theory of labor market segmentation. The paper discusses the challenges and weaknesses of the Chilean women’s labor outcome and presents recent data to extrapolate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on vulnerable work trajectories. It considers the type of State and possible actions to achieve greater welfare and social development regarding gender equality.

This paper is an exploration of intersegment and racial differences in job-leaving experience, which links ideas found in mobility studies of the labor market segmentation school and the literature which describes unemployment as a dynamic process. Findings suggest that there are significant differences in nonemployment mobility patterns across the segment structure, lending support to researchers who view the labor market as segmented. In addition, after controlling for segmentation, racial differences in nonemployment mobility are revealed, suggesting that race, too, is an important theoretical category that cannot be ignored.

The structural changes of the labor market in the industrialized economies have become an important topic of labor market research and practical labor market policy. Yet, little progress has been realized hitherto concerning the market position of different qualities of labor occupied in small business enterprises. Referring to West-European countries, and especially to West Germany, the following article gives some insight into the functioning of the tripartite labor market and its consequences for the employment fluctuations in very small enterprises on the one hand and in big firms on the other. The main question is whether small business is marked by labor market segmentation in the same way as it has been stated for big firms by the recent development of labor market theory.
