This paper presents the findings of a field experiment on hiring discrimination against ex-offenders in the Swedish labor market. Matched pairs of written job applications for fictitious male and female applicants with and without a past conviction of assault were sent to employers for nine different occupations. Results show that discrimination against ex-offenders exists, but the extent of it varies across occupations. The past conviction of assault was associated with 7–18 percentage point lower probability of receiving a positive employer response. Discrimination against ex-offenders was pronounced in female-dominated and high-skilled occupations. The magnitude of discrimination against ex-offenders did not vary by applicants’ sex.

前罪犯的就业能力:瑞典劳动力市场的实地实验

本文介绍了在瑞典劳动力市场上雇用歧视前犯的现场实验的发现。配对的假想的男性和女性申请人的书面工作申请对,有或没有过往的犯罪经历,被发送给雇主从事九种不同的职业。结果表明,存在对前罪犯的歧视,但其歧视程度因职业而异。过去对袭击的定罪与获得积极雇主回应的可能性相比降低了7-18个百分点。在女性占主导地位的高技能职业中,对前罪犯的歧视明显。对前罪犯的歧视程度并没有因申请人的性别而异。
