Description
Ethnic Inequality and Discrimination: Recent Evidence and Future Research Perspectives
While migration studies have traditionally focused on the issue of immigrant assimilation, recent research has increasingly explored its link to social inequality and discrimination. In this talk, Mirna Safi will discuss how migration contributes to ethnic inequality in destination countries, with a particular focus on discrimination as a potential mechanism. The presentation will draw on recent research on labor market inequality and discrimination conducted in the European context, focusing particularly on France.
