Add to ORKGWe construct a simple model incorporating various urban labour mar-ket phenomena obtaining in developing economies. Our initial for-mulation assumes an integrated labour market and allows for entre-preneurship, self-employment and wage employment. We then in-troduce labour market segmentation. In equilibrium voluntary and involuntary self-employment, formal and informal wage employment, and formal and informal entrepreneurship may all coexist. We illus-trate the model by an example calibrated on Latin American data, examining individual labour market transitions and implications of education/training and labour market policies. To diminish informal-ity, cutting the costs of formality is more e¤ective than raising those of informality. JEL C...
