GONZALEZ HERNANDEZ, Guadalupe Margarita. Socio-spatial segregation, labor market integration and medium income group deterioration in Zacatecas-Guadalupe urban zone, Mexico, 2000. Pap. poblac [online]. 2005, vol.11, n.46, pp.79-108. ISSN 2448-7147.

Socio-spatial segregation becomes an explanatory factor of labor market segmentation. Employment and income opportunities depend on the residential locations and the degree of social isolation. Census analysis indicates that low income groups accentuate their precarious employment and income opportunities, whereas medium income groups show a clear decadence in their financial capabilities that does not correspond to its cultural or social baggage. High income groups present indications that do not correspond to the economy's new dynamics.
