Abstract

This article applies labour segmentation theory to the labour market in superstores. Whilst there are limitations over the applicability of this theory, broad divisions between primary and secondary sector employment conditions may be recognised. Moreover, the lubour supply reveals a distinct gender bias with women being used primarily as sales assistants and males occupying managerial positions.
