Abstract

In dit boek wordt het concept 'gelijke kansen' en het gelijkekansenbeleid dat daarop gebaseerd is in Groot-Brittannie, doorgelicht voor drie onderscheiden categorieën : vrouwen, etnische minderheden en gehandicapten. Ondanks de onderlinge verschillen in discriminatie en uitsluiting hebben deze drie groepen met elkaar gemeen dat ze uiterst gevoelig zijn voor veranderingen op het terrein van sociale voorzieningen. Een vijftal domeinen worden bekeken : onderwijs, werkgelegenheid, gezondheidszorg, welzijnswerk en wonen.

Abstract

"In this book we focus our attention on the role that culture, that collection of values, beliefs, attitudes and preferences responsible for creating national identities, has played and continues to play on individuals' decisions when they are in or about to enter the labor market. At a time when Millennials face many employment challenges and Generation Z can be expected to encounter even more, a clearer understanding of the ways cultural transmission could facilitate or hinder productive and rewarding work would appear to be both useful and well-timed.The book's title - Caught in the Cultural Preference Net: Three Generations of Employment choices in Six Capitalist Democracies - conveys our aim to determine if work related beliefs, attitudes and preferences have remained stable across generations or if they have become pliant under changing economic conditions. And while Millennials serve as the anchoring point for much of our discussion, we do not neglect the significance that their parents, from Generation X (bd 1965-1982) and their Baby Boomer parents (bd 1945-1964) may have had on their socialization into the world of work"--

Abstract

An in-depth look at how employers today perceive and evaluate job applicants with nonstandard or precarious employment historiesMillions of workers today labor in nontraditional situations involving part-time work, temporary agency employment, and skills underutilization or face the precariousness of long-term unemployment. To date, research has largely focused on how these experiences shape workers’ well-being, rather than how hiring agents perceive and treat job applicants who have moved through these positions. Shifting the focus from workers to hiring agents, Making the Cut explores how key gatekeepers—HR managers, recruiters, and talent acquisition specialists—evaluate workers with nonstandard, mismatched, or precarious employment experience. Factoring in the social groups to which workers belong—such as their race and gender—David Pedulla shows how workers get jobs, how the hiring process unfolds, who makes the cut, and who does not.Drawing on a field experiment examining hiring decisions in four occupational groups and in-depth interviews with hiring agents in the United States, Pedulla documents and unpacks three important discoveries. Hiring professionals extract distinct meanings from different types of employment experiences; the effects of nonstandard, mismatched, and precarious employment histories for workers’ job outcomes are not all the same; and the race and gender of workers intersect with their employment histories to shape which workers get called back for jobs. Indeed, hiring professionals use group-based stereotypes to weave divergent narratives or “stratified stories” about workers with similar employment experiences. The result is a complex set of inequalities in the labor market.Looking at bias and discrimination, social exclusion in the workplace, and the changing nature of work, Making the Cut probes the hiring process and offers a clearer picture of the underpinnings of getting a job in the new economy.
