摘要

本文报告了一项实地实验，调查了瑞典劳动力市场对有意休兼职育儿假的求职者的招聘歧视。瑞典法律禁止与育儿假有关的劳动力市场歧视。我们进行了一项通信测试，向960个雇主发送了工作申请，这些雇主分别来自一个男性主导和一个女性主导的低技能职业。那些表示有育儿假计划的申请人收到面试邀请的可能性要小得多，与那些没有提及育儿假计划的人相比，他们的机会减少了一半。这种偏见出现在性别和职业之间，揭示了劳动力市场的系统性问题。

Parental Leave Intentions, Gender, and Job Discrimination: Insights From a Swedish Field Experiment

This paper reports on a field experiment investigating hiring discrimination in the Swedish labor market against job candidates signaling intentions to take part-time parental leave. Swedish law prohibits labor market discrimination related to parental leave. We conducted a correspondence test, sending job applications to 960 employers in one male-dominated and one female-dominated low-skilled occupation. Applicants who indicated plans for parental leave were significantly less likely to receive job interview invitations, with their chances cut by half compared to those who did not mention such plans. This bias emerged across genders and occupations, revealing a systemic issue in the labor market.
