Abstract
Valiendose de datos del censo y de entrevistas personales, el autor estudia las experiencias laborales de los trabajadores y solicitantes de empleo de Pekin pertenecientes a minorias etnicas. Los datos del mercado de trabajo indican que estas personas se hallan en desventaja respecto de la etnia han, que es la dominante, sobre todo en el acceso a los puestos mas cualificados y mejor remunerados. Las comprobaciones del autor dejan entrever que ello puede achacarse a las lagunas de que adolece el orden laboral y que fomentan la dependencia de las redes sociales en este terreno.Drawing on micro-level census data and interviews with individual workers and employers, this article examines the job-search, hiring and promotion experiences of ethnic minority workers and job seekers in Beijing. Labor market data indicate that ethnic minorities are at a disadvantage relative to the dominant Han ethnic group, particularly when it comes to employment in high-wage, skilled jobs. The evidence provided here suggests this may be attributable to gaps in the institutional framework that encourage reliance on social-network capital for job search, hiring and promotion.The English version of this paper can be found at: http://ssrn.com/abstract=2211233Winner of the Society for the Study of Social Problems’ Poverty, Class, and Inequality Division Paper Award
本文利用人口普查数据和个人访谈,研究了北京少数民族工人和求职者的工作经历。劳动力市场数据表明,与占主导地位的汉族相比,这些人处于不利地位,特别是在获得更高技能和更高报酬的工作方面。作者的研究表明,这可能是由于工作秩序的缺陷,并鼓励在这一领域对社交网络的依赖。本文利用微观人口普查数据和对个别工人和雇主的访谈,考察了北京少数民族工人和求职者的求职、招聘和晋升经验。劳动力市场数据表明,少数民族相对于占主导地位的汉族群体处于不利地位,特别是在高薪、技术工作方面。这里提供的证据表明,这可能是由于鼓励依靠社会网络资本进行求职、招聘和晋升的体制框架存在差距。本文的英文版本可在以下网址找到:http://ssrn.com/abstract=2211233the Society for The Study of Social Problems ' Poverty, Class, and Inequality Division paper Award
