Understanding the ethnic pay gap in Britain (2012, background): “However, entry into low-status or poorly paid jobs is more common; for instance, minorities are strongly overrepresented in the distribution sector and in hotels and restaurants (Heath and Cheung, 2006: 46).”
Poverty and ethnicity in the UK (2007, background): “Here it was Black African men (26%) and women (16%) who were most likely to identify job refusal on racial grounds (Heath and Cheung, 2006).”
Ethnic discrimination in hiring decisions: a meta-analysis of correspondence tests 1990–2015 (2016, unknown): “In this case, as Heath and Cheung (2006) emphasise, disadvantage is unlikely to disappear between generations.”
Ethnic discrimination in hiring: comparing groups across contexts. Results from a cross-national field experiment (2019, background): “While discrimination varies across countries (Heath and Cheung 2006; Kogan 2007; Riach and Rich 2002; Zegers de Beijl 2000; Zschirnt and Ruedin 2016), there is virtually no research that studies differential treatment across national institutional settings.”
