| description |
Labor market discrimination is very
difficult to pinpoint, even more difficult to measure and
almost impossible to “prove”. It has been studied in many
disciplines of which economics and sociology are prime. The
latter has focused more on the manner in which
discrimination plays out and how it is related to different
forms of social stratification. This paper reviews the
literature and makes two main contributions: first, it
builds a four-fold typology to think about
discrimination—overt or covert; conscious or unconscious;
legal or illegal and real or perceived. Second, it
identifies screens and filters—devices through which
discrimination plays out in the labor market. Unless more
empirical studies identify the play of discrimination and
exclusion, subordinate groups may well be told that
discrimination is actually in their heads—that they are
imagining it. |
