ABSTRACT

This study investigates the association between body weight and the likelihood that people perceive that they have been the victims of racial discrimination in the workplace among the unemployed. I find that unemployed obese men and women are 8.4 percentage points and 7.7 percentage points, respectively, more likely to have experienced racial discrimination before becoming unemployed than their non-obese counterparts. For unemployed men, the relationship between body weight and perceived racial discrimination does not seem to be associated with race. For unemployed women, being black and obese significantly increases the likelihood of perceiving racial discrimination.

失业者在工作场所的种族歧视和体重歧视。

抽象的

这项研究调查了体重与人们认为自己是失业中工作场所种族歧视的受害者之间的关系。我发现，失业的肥胖男人和女人分别比非肥胖的男人和女人分别高8.4个百分点和7.7个百分点，他们在失业之前更容易遭受种族歧视。对于失业的男性来说，体重和种族歧视之间的关系似乎与种族无关。对于失业妇女来说，黑人和肥胖显着增加了种族歧视的可能性。
