Population with Criminal Records and Racial Disparity in Labor Markets IZA Journal of Labor Policy 9,1 (June 2019): DOI: 10.2478/izajolp-2019-0002. Also: https://www.sciendo.com/article/10.2478/izajolp-2019-0002 Cohort(s): NLSY97 Publisher: Institute for the Study of Labor (IZA) Keyword(s): Criminal Justice System; Labor Market Outcomes; Racial Equality/Inequality; Unemployment Rate Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. Background: Although unemployment rates are at historical lows, there is still a persistent gap between unemployment rates in black and white population. Some have proposed that part of the gap for men can be explained by the higher rate of criminal records in the black population. Methods: This analysis aims to use negative binomial regressions and the detailed crime data available from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1997 survey to determine if black men with criminal records appear to be the driving force behind the gap. Results: The author finds that there are significant deviations in labor market outcomes depending on race and ethnicity, even when controlling for a criminal record and premarket skills. |
