POL, María Albina. Determinants of demand on local labor markets: An analysis of wine industry in Mendoza. Trab. soc. [online]. 2015, n.25, pp.353-369. ISSN 1514-6871.

Both supply and demand factors are articulated in the territory determining the insertion of different groups in the labor market. This article focuses on the demand determinants in order to analyze the ways of organizing and managing the workforce implemented by corporate actors who act in a specific territory. These mechanisms respond, while reinforcing, the processes of employment flexibility and the existence of segments with different opportunities for labor participation. In order to achieve our objective we analyze the case of the wine industry in Maipu (Province of Mendoza). The analysis shows that the organization and management strategies that implement the wine industries in Mendoza, have diversified in response to the dynamics of the activity in the territory and the production model of each firm. These mechanisms form a clear segmentation of workers at both inter-and intra-firm. The result is the existence of subgroups with very different labor conditions, from disadvantaged group, the low-skilled young women who work in smaller firms, to the workers with the most favorable conditions, middle-aged and highly qualified men in hierarchical positions in the wine industry‘s big establishments.
