The contribution paper consists modeling market three sectors: formal employment, “competitive” informal “subsistence” employment. This will allow us to identify differentiated market. We propose that imposes a higher barrier demand low skilled labour, expulsing these workers subsistence activities sector, while sector remains unaffected. Consequently, we expect lower due increased competence, no significant changes sector. design stratified propensity score matching methodology for empirical identification sectors, follow Neumark (1994) impact assessment wage. results confirm hypothesis about but fail those income.
