Summary/Abstract: The present study of the segmentation of the labor market in the country aims to enrich the existing body of knowledge relating to this issue. A methodological framework was elaborated to study the labor market segmentation by income and employment profiles, based on data from monitoring specific labor and specific income pursuant to individual observations of the National Statistics Institute. There is a link between a specific type of labor and a specific income in compliance with specific criteria to define available or non-available segmentation on the labor market. For the implementation of the specific assignments a survey methodology is proposed in conformity with the European Income and Living Conditions (EU-SILC) survey. Bulgaria is involved therein since 2006.
