?:abstract
  • We conducted a cross-national harmonized field experiment on ethnic discrimination on the labour market in Germany, the Netherlands, Norway, Spain and the United Kingdom. In all five countries we sent job applications from fictitious job candidates to real job openings. The fictitious job candidates were either natives or had an immigrant background in one out of 52 different countries of origin. In all countries, we find clear differences in the call-back rates of the majority population and minority applicants, confirming that minority applicants are discriminated against in the hiring process. In addition, our results point to large differences in the extent of discrimination between minority applicants from different countries of origin. Drawing on previous research that relates ethnic hierarchies in social distance to differences in cultural values, we investigate whether the level of cultural distance between immigrant groups and the native population helps to explain ethnic hierarchies in hiring discrimination. Our results confirm the expected relationship by trend. The stronger an immigrant’s country deviates from the receiving society with regard to secular and emancipative values or shares of Muslim population, the lower the likelihood that employers signal interest in minority candidates’ application for a job.
