David Pettinicchio, associate professor at the University of Toronto, will present, "Disability-Based Employment Discrimination: Evidence from a Series of Field Experiments," as part of the Sociology Department Colloquium Series.
Abstract: Various explanations have been offered to account for persistent labour market inequalities among people with disabilities, ranging from merit and personal responsibility, to human capital, to employer attitudes. With a few exceptions, far less direct information is known about how discriminatory attitudes affect disables job seekers. This talk presents findings from a Canadian audit study of disability labour market outcomes where matched pair resumes were sent to real active jobs in both Toronto and Edmonton.
