Argumenta-se (cf. ECLA, 1961; Tumham, 1971; Bairoch, 1973) que o desequilibrio entre a expansao industrial e o rapido crescimento da forca de trabalho urbana, por meio de crescimento natural e fluxos migratorios, os quais tem sido estimulados por perspectivas de emprego no setor industrial, nao inteiramente realizaveis, tem causado um desemprego generalizado e baixa produtividade de uma grande proporcao da populacao urbana economicamente ativa dos paises em desenvolvimento, com a consequente marginalizacao* desses grupos. Paralelamente a esta, o aumento na desigualdade da distribuicao da renda que havia se verificado em paises como o Brasil sugere que tal marginalizacao seja um efeito necessario do estilo de industrializacao.read more

A model of labor migration and urban unemployment in less developed countries.
TL;DR: In this paper, an economic behavioral model of rural urban migration is formulated which represents a realistic modification and extension of the simple wage differential approach commonly found in the literature and this probablistic approach is incorporated into a rigorous model of the determinants of urban labor demand and supply which when given values for the crucial parameters can be used among other things to estimate the equilibrium proportion of the urban labor force that is not absorbed by the modern industrial economy.
