通过实地实验,研究先前工作经验和语言能力对瑞典叙利亚难民申请低技能工作时获得雇主回应的因果影响,发现经验和语言课程效果不显著,但女性申请者更可能获得积极回应。

Abstract

Abstract In a field experiment, we study the causal effects of previous experience and language skills when newly arrived Syrian refugees in Sweden apply for low‐skilled jobs. We find no evidence of sizable effects from previous experience or completed language classes on the probability of receiving a callback from employers. However, female applicants were more likely than males to receive a positive response. As a complement to the experiment, we interview a select number of employers, which provides additional insights into how they judge candidates for low‐skilled jobs.
