Poverty and vulnerability on the labor market : dimensions of the fragility of the poor

Abstract EN

This paper suggests, according to exploratory and analytical approaches, setting and analyzing the interaction between the type or nature of economic activity and monetary poverty.

This can be done via a simplified presentation of labor market structure divided in various segments and employment constituents.

The insertion of the young active generations stemming from poor areas, in the educational and training process, especially by lowering the opportunity cost of such insertion for the underprivileged domestic units may improve, in medium-long term, their professional abilities.

This will increase the profitability of their economic activity and their insertion chances in more lucrative and stable employment segments.
