This study focuses on the nature and determinants of labor market differentiation and household-level poverty in urban Juba, Southern Sudan, using data collected in a recent sample survey of enterprises. It finds that indices of human capital play a significant role in labor market outcomes but imperfections in the product and capital markets lead to a highly skewed distribution of income. Demographic factors at the household level are also important in accounting for economic status. The paper concludes that income differentiation and poverty are much more diverse than the simple formal-informal sector dichotomy of the labor market, which is frequently found in the literature, would predict. |
