Discrimination and Daycare Choice
通过随机调查,研究家长在日托选择中表现出的育儿风格与对少数族裔态度之间的关系,发现偏好结构化日托的家长存在偏见。
<h3>Abstract</h3> We use a randomized survey to study the relation between parenting styles and attitudes towards ethnic minorities in a daycare setting. Parents choose between two daycare centers: a free-play facility that reflects a "relaxed" parenting approach and a structured facility that reflects a "strict" parenting approach. We find biases against ethnic minorities among parents who prefer the structured daycare but not among parents who prefer the free-play one. Using data from the European Value Survey, we further document an association between discriminatory attitudes towards peer ethnicity and parenting style.
