Etnische en gender discriminatie op de arbeidsmarkt

Abstract

This study examines ethnic and gender discrimination in the labour market during the selection process. The first part of the study examines whether curricula vitae ranging gender (male / female) and ethnicity (Dutch, Moroccan or Polish) are assessed differently from each other in positions that differ in the degree of contact with the customer and whether they are characterized as feminine or masculine. In the second part are gender and ethnic stereotypes, social dominance orientation and gender and ethnic identification measured by questionnaires. Data are collected via an online survey in which participants (n = 105) reviewed fictitious CVs. Results show those CVs in features with high customer contact to be an assessment negative. Ethnicity of the applicant has no role. Neither does the extent of stereotypes, identification and social dominance orientation in assessing the CVs. However, male candidates are better assessed for male professions and female applicants to female occupations.
