Abstract

We analyze the relationship between occupational gender composition and gender discrimination in recruitment and investigate whether there is hiring discrimination against men in female-dominated occupations. We do this with a large-scale field experiment where we submitted more than 12,000 job applications for 12 occupations in Australia, varying the gender of the applicants. Men received around 50% more callbacks than women in male-dominated occupations, while they received over 40% fewer callbacks in female-dominated occupations.

关于职业性别隔离和雇佣歧视的大规模实地实验

我们分析了职业性别构成与招聘中的性别歧视之间的关系，并调查了在女性主导的职业中是否存在对男性的招聘歧视。我们通过一项大规模的实地实验来做到这一点，我们在澳大利亚提交了12个职业的12000多份工作申请，不同申请人的性别。在男性占主导地位的职业中，男性接到的电话比女性多50%左右，而在女性占主导地位职业中，他们接到的电话少40%以上。
