Bias and labour market inequality

Grant description:

This research asks how gender inequality influences the number of chances that individuals receive to succeed in the workplace and whether this affects skill development and/ or contributes to wage and promotion gaps. Specifically, the research seeks to add to our understanding of how gender differences may affect whether an employee’s successes and failures are attributed to luck or ability, and if that has implications for career trajectory. The project uses a unique data set of primary care physicians’ referrals to surgeons.
