Blending in or moving on? Immigrant coworkers, assimilation, and employee turnover
How does the presence of immigrant coworkers shape the likelihood that minority employees stay or leave their jobs? This study uses linked employer-employee administrative data covering the entire Norwegian labor market to investigate how workplace immigrant concentration influences turnover among immigrants and their native-born children. Building on theories of organizational demography, we ask whether working alongside a higher share of immigr…
Det etniske hierarkiet: Diskriminering på grunnlag av landbakgrunn, religion og hudfarge i det norske arbeidsmarkedet
Denne artikkelen analyserer resultatene fra et omfattende felteksperiment der 2779 fiktive jobbsøknader fra likt kvalifiserte personer med bakgrunn fra i alt 37 land ble sendt ut til like mange stillingsutlysninger i det norske arbeidsmarkedet. Analysene dokumenterer eksistensen av et etnisk hierarki i en norsk kontekst. Særlig jobbsøkere med navn fra Afrika, Midtøsten og Sør-Asia diskrimineres i ansettelsesprosessen. Søkere fra europeiske land, …
Racially Distinctive Names Signal Both Race/Ethnicity and Social Class
Researchers studying discrimination and bias frequently conduct experiments that use racially distinctive names to signal race or ethnicity. The evidence that these studies provide about racial discrimination depends on the assumption that the names researchers use differ only based on perceived race and not some other factor. In this article, we assess this common assumption using data from five different studies (n = 1,004; 2,002; 1,035; 5,631;…
Gender Discrimination in Hiring: Evidence from a Cross-National Harmonized Field Experiment
Gender discrimination is often regarded as an important driver of women's disadvantage in the labour market, yet earlier studies show mixed results. However, because different studies employ different research designs, the estimates of discrimination cannot be compared across countries. By utilizing data from the first harmonized comparative field experiment on gender discrimination in hiring in six countries, we can directly compare employers' c…
Pakistani in the UK and Norway: Different contexts, similar disadvantage. Results from a comparative field experiment on hiring discrimination
Experimental research on ethnic discrimination in labour markets is often concerned with individual-level mechanisms. Structural macro-level drivers of discrimination, however, are more difficult to address. We present the results of a harmonised correspondence test conducted in Norway and the UK, two contexts that differ significantly along several dimensions expected to matter for the prevalence of ethnic discrimination. We focus on discriminat…
Induced competition in matched correspondence tests: Conceptual and methodological considerations
Audit and correspondence studies are established as the dominant empirical strategy for examining the prevalence of hiring discrimination in labor markets. Historically, these studies are most often conducted as pairwise within-subject tests where one of the testers or applicants are exposed to the treatment of interest, while the other serves as a reference. In more recent studies, however, some scholars are moving towards the practice of sendin…
The Racialized and Gendered Workplace: Applying an Intersectional Lens to a Field Experiment on Hiring Discrimination in Five European Labor Markets
We draw on a field experiment conducted in five European countries to analyze hiring discrimination on the basis of gender and race. We adopt an intersectional perspective and relate existing theories on gender and racial discrimination to recent work on the gendered stereotype content of different races. We find that employers prefer hiring white women over men for female-typed jobs. By contrast, women of color do not have any advantage over men…
Perfect for the Job? Overqualification of Immigrants and their Descendants in the Norwegian Labor Market
Compared to the majority population, studies have shown that non-western immigrants are more likely to work in jobs for which they are overqualified. These findings are based on coarse measures of jobs, and an important question is how sensitive these findings are to the definition of jobs. By using detailed information from Norwegian register data 2014, we provide a methodological innovation in comparing individuals working in the same occupatio…
The Effect of Different Police Enforcement Policies on the Control of Prostitution
This article conducts a comparative analysis of prostitution control in four Canadian cities using police enforcement policies as the independent variable. Most recent Canadian prostitution research has centred on assessing the adequacy of the existing law, and the majority of analysts have concluded that most prostitution offences ought to be decriminalized. However, the analysis in this article assumes that the law is unlikely to be changed in …
Canadian Prostitution Control Between 1914 and 1970: An Exercise in Chauvinist Reasoning
This paper conducts a feminist analysis of Canadian prostitution control during the period between 1914 and 1970. The major intent of this analysis is to outline the manner in which the prostitution-related vagrancy provisions were enforced from the beginning of the First World War through to their repeal in the early 1970s. The effects of two world wars, the eugenics movement of the 1920s, the Great Depression and the liberalized sexual mores of…
