A study on the effects of a more unionized workforce in the United States, on the representation of women and minorities in the management of enterprises.
|
|||
|
It finds that while stronger unionization is associated both with more women and more minorities represented in the overall workforce and in management, this effect is only marginally significant.
|
|||
|
Additionally, there are drivers which may be based on unobservables and not a direct effect ---
|
|||
|
it may be a selection effect of more unionized enterprises.
|
|||
|
It uses union elections as its base of analysis, and thus can not exclude self-selection effects of people joining more heavily unionized enterprises rather than unionization increasing representation in its conclusions.
