Patterns of labor absorption by occupation in the Dominican Republic.
"The purpose of this article is to describe and analyze patterns of labor absorption by occupation in the Dominican Republic using national population census data."  The author develops a measure that facilitates the identification of patterns of labor absorption into various occupations.  The results, based on data for the period 1970-1981, show sharp differentials by sex and zone.  It is found that the service sector is absorbing more workers but that agriculture is not, even in rural areas.
