>New research provides evidence of “clear, consistent, and large discrimination” against men in female-dominated occupations in Sweden. The study indicates that women are more likely to receive a response to entry-level job applications than men are.
>“Perhaps the first motivation when looking at discrimination in the labor market is that it is theoretically inefficient, a profit maximizing firm should not discriminate between workers of equal productivity based on immutable characteristics, as it would run counter to their goals,” he explained.
>Granberg and his colleagues found that women had higher positive employer response rates than men on average, an effect that was primarily driven by female-dominated occupations. There was no evidence of discrimination against women in male-dominated professions or in mixed-gender professions, but the researchers did find evidence of discrimination against men in female-dominated professions.
