Abstract: The segmentation of labor market has increased employment cost of the migrant. Job search model cannot effectively explain the employment decision process. Labor market segmentation,which caused the wage differences between different employment sector,generated the workers employment risk,namely the risk to job failure,risk of revenue reduction. We classified the risk types of the labor force and discussed the decision-making behavior of migrant workers. We found that the employment risk factors have important influence on selection behavior of the employment sectors. The probability of the risk-averse worker be employed in the informal sector is lower than that of the labor with lower risk aversion.
