abstract: 'We propose an equilibrium interaction model of occupational segregation
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
and labor market inequality between two social groups, generated
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
exclusively through the documented tendency to refer informal job
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
seekers of identical ``social color{''''}. The expected social color
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
homophily in job referrals strategically induces distinct career choices
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
for individuals from different social groups, which further translates
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
into stable partial occupational segregation equilibria with sustained
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
wage and employment inequality - in line with observed patterns of
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
racial or gender labor market disparities. Supporting the qualitative
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
analysis with a calibration and simulation exercise, we furthermore show
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
that both first and second best utilitarian social optima entail
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
segregation, any integration policy requiring explicit distributional
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
concerns. Our framework highlights that the mere social interaction
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
through homophilous contact networks can be a pivotal channel for the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
propagation and persistence of gender and racial labor market gaps,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
complementary to long studied mechanisms such as taste or statistical
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
discrimination. (c) 2022 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.'
