Zusammenfassung:
When labor market economists started to work on segmented labor markets, they classified informal employment as a transitory state. At the end of the 20UPth/UP century, informal employment still persists governments' attempts to eradicate it and represents a growing labor market segment not only in developing countries but worldwide.

The empirical analysis is based on Cox proportional hazard models and multinomial logistic regression, using Brazilian labor market panel data
