ABSTRACT
The preceding chapters have focused on the labour market situation of immigrants and ethnic minorities, as well as the mechanisms and various forms of discrimination that influence this labour market outcome, including the role of gender. In principle, two lines of reasoning have been used to analyse the relation between discrimination of immigrants or ethnic groups and inequality. The first starts from evidence of inequality at the group level and analyses to which extent that inequality can be attributed to discriminatory processes by checking for relevant factors that may account for differences between groups. The second outlines evidence of research on discrimination in its different forms from which inequality at the group level has been the consequence.
