What is first-class labor force and what is second-class labor force?

The first type of labor force generally refers to workers with certain knowledge and skills, and it is easier to find a job. Then, such workers, enterprises and organizations form a relatively standardized and stable labor market.

The secondary labor force generally refers to the labor force whose unskilled workers are easily replaced, the employment cost is relatively low, the work treatment is also low, and the resignation rate is relatively high.

Due to social and institutional factors, departmental differences in the labor market have formed. The differences in access to labor market information and channels among different groups of people lead to obvious differences in employment departments, positions and income patterns, such as the stratification between race, gender and immigrants.

The formation of primary labor market and secondary labor market

The dual structure theory divides the labor market into primary market and secondary market. This distinction was first put forward by Piol, a neostructuralist sociologist. The primary market has the characteristics of high salary, good working conditions, stable employment, good security, standardized management process and many promotion opportunities. The secondary market has low wages, poor working conditions, unstable employment, rude management and no promotion opportunities.

The main performance of labor market segmentation is that the labor market can be divided into primary and secondary labor markets and internal and external labor markets.
