Abstract
This paper investigates persistent differentials in urban unemployment rates. It proposes
a model of the long run labour market equilibrium in an urban region that shares
migration routes with other urban regions as well as with its rural sector. Using a panel
of data for Indian regions, two structural unemployment-wage relations are identified, a
wage curve and a (modified) migration equilibrium condition. The analysis is conducted
for regular unemployment as well as for underemployment.
