D3.3 Organizational Context of Ethnic Discrimination. Results From a Cross- National Factorial Survey Experiment

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: The recent migration crisis, driven by conflicts and economic instability in regions such as the Middle East, Africa, and more recently Ukraine, has led to an increased movement of people into Europe. Labour market integration of immigrants remains one of the most pressing challenges for European countries. While immigrants can help address labour shortages, particularly in aging economies, they often face significant barriers to employment, including language difficulties, non-recognition of qualifications and employer discrimination. Numerous field experiments have shown that hiring discrimination against ethnic minorities and applicants with immigrant backgrounds is widespread (Quillian & Midtbøen, 2021; Lippens et al., 2023a). Across a wide range of countries, occupations, and ethnic groups, studies find that applicants with ethnic minority and immigrant backgrounds face substantially lower hiring chances than the majority population (Quillian & Midtbøen, 2021).
