abstract: 'Purpose - This paper uses a unique survey of Roma and non-Roma in South
|
||||
|
||||
Eastern Europe with the aim of evaluating competing explanations for the
|
||||
|
||||
poor performance of Roma in the labour market.
|
||||
|
||||
Design/methodology/approach - Following a descriptive analysis,
|
||||
|
||||
econometric models are employed to identify the determinants of
|
||||
|
||||
educational achievement, employment and wages for Roma and non-Roma.
|
||||
|
||||
Limited information maximum likelihood (LIML) methods are employed to
|
||||
|
||||
control for endogenous schooling and two sources of sample selection
|
||||
|
||||
bias in the estimates. Non-linear and linear decomposition techniques
|
||||
|
||||
are applied in order to identify the extent of discrimination.
|
||||
|
||||
Findings - The key results are that: the employment returns to education
|
||||
|
||||
are lower for Roma than for non-Roma whilst the wage returns are broadly
|
||||
|
||||
similar for the two groups; the similar wage gains translate into a
|
||||
|
||||
smaller absolute wage gain for Roma than for non-Roma given their lower
|
||||
|
||||
average wages; the marginal absolute gains from education for Roma are
|
||||
|
||||
only a little over one-third of the marginal absolute gains to education
|
||||
|
||||
for majority populations; and, there is evidence to support the idea
|
||||
|
||||
that a substantial part of the differential in labour market outcomes is
|
||||
|
||||
due to discrimination.
|
||||
|
||||
Research limitations/implications - The survey data employed do not
|
||||
|
||||
include information on hours worked. In order to partially control for
|
||||
|
||||
this, the analysis of wages is limited to employee wages excluding the
|
||||
|
||||
self-employed.
|
||||
|
||||
Practical implications - Explanations of why Roma fare so badly tend to
|
||||
|
||||
fall into one of two camps: the ``low education{''''} and the
|
||||
|
||||
``discrimination{''''} schools. The analysis suggests that both of these
|
||||
|
||||
explanations have some basis in fact. Moreover, a direct implication of
|
||||
|
||||
the lower absolute returns to education accruing to Roma is that their
|
||||
|
||||
lower educational participation is, at least in part, due to rational
|
||||
|
||||
economic calculus. Consequently, policy needs to address both low
|
||||
|
||||
educational participation and labour market discrimination
|
||||
|
||||
contemporaneously.
|
||||
|
||||
Originality/value - This is the first paper to attempt to
|
||||
|
||||
econometrically distinguish between discrimination and educational
|
||||
|
||||
explanations of Roma disadvantage in the labour market in Central and
|
||||
|
||||
Eastern Europe. The survey data employed are unique and appropriate for
|
||||
|
||||
the task. Unusually for analyses dealing with returns to education, the
|
||||
|
||||
LIML econometric approach employed controls for both endogenous
|
||||
|
||||
schooling and two sources of sample selection bias.'
