What Happens When Employers Can No Longer Discriminate in Job Ads?
研究了中国某招聘网站突然禁止雇主在广告中明确性别要求后，求职者性别构成的变化，发现女性（男性）在原本要求男性（女性）的职位中获得的面试机会分别增加了61%和146%，但整合主要发生在低工资岗位。
When employers' explicit gender requests were unexpectedly removed from a Chinese job board overnight, pools of successful applicants became more integrated: women's (men's) share of callbacks to jobs that had requested men (women) rose by 61 (146) percent. The removal “worked” in this sense because it generated a large increase in gender-mismatched applications, and because those applications were treated surprisingly well by employers, suggesting that employers' gender requests often represented relatively weak preferences or outdated stereotypes. The job titles that were integrated by the ban, however, were not the most gendered ones, and were disproportionately lower-wage jobs.
