Rosen's asymmetrical model

Rosen's asymmetrical model describes how the demand for different labor types responds unevenly to economic changes. It suggests that certain jobs, like high-skilled professions, are less sensitive to economic shifts and thus more stable, while others, such as low-skilled or temporary work, are more flexible and more influenced by economic fluctuations. This asymmetry impacts wage dynamics, employment levels, and labor market flexibility, reflecting that not all jobs or workers react identically to economic forces. Essentially, it highlights the uneven resilience of different labor segments during economic ups and downs.
