Intended as a background paper to the World Development Report 2013 this paper will also feed into the Social Inclusion Flagship Report by the Social Development Department at the World Bank. It is divided into six sections. This section one is an introduction to the objectives and provides the context for this work. Section two is a brief discussion of the conceptual underpinnings and measurement of labor market discrimination from a cross-disciplinary perspective. Section three lays out a typology of processes of discrimination, while section four is a discussion of the mechanisms of discrimination and the ways in which candidates are screened. Section five addresses the question of how discriminated groups react to discrimination. The final section addresses some of the ways in which occupational and labor market mobility is possible for disadvantaged groups and what policy implications it could have.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOACT OF DISCRIMINATIONADVERTISINGAFFIRMATIVE ACTIONBARRIERS TO ENTRYCAREGIVERSCIVIL RIGHTSCLERKSCOLLECTIVE ACTIONCOLLECTIVE BARGAININGCOMPETITIVE LABOR MARKETSCOMPETITIVE PRODUCTDEVELOPING COUNTRIESDEVELOPMENT ECONOMICSDISABILITYDISADVANTAGED GROUPSDISADVANTAGED WORKERSDISCRIMINATION AGAINST WOMENDISCRIMINATORY ATTITUDESDISCRIMINATORY PRACTICESDIVISION OF LABORECONOMIC INEQUALITYECONOMIC OPPORTUNITIESECONOMIC OPPORTUNITYECONOMICSEDUCATED WOMENEDUCATIONAL ATTAINMENTEDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONSEFFICIENCY WAGESEMPLOYABILITYEMPLOYEEEMPLOYMENTEMPLOYMENT DISCRIMINATIONEMPLOYMENT GENERATIONEMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITYEMPLOYMENT OUTCOMESEMPLOYMENT RATESENFORCEMENT MECHANISMSENTRY-LEVEL JOBSEQUAL REMUNERATIONEQUAL REMUNERATION CONVENTIONEQUAL TERMSEQUALITY AT WORKETHNIC GROUPETHNIC GROUPSEXPLOITATION OF WOMENEXPORT PROCESSING ZONESEXTERNALITIESFAIRFEMALE CANDIDATESFEMALE EMPLOYEESFEMALE EMPLOYMENTFEMALE LABORFEMALE LABOR FORCEFEMALE LABOR FORCE PARTICIPATIONFEMALE WORKERSFOREIGN-OWNED FIRMSFORMS OF DISCRIMINATIONFUTURE LABORGENDERGENDER DIFFERENCESGENDER DIFFERENTIALSGENDER DISCRIMINATIONGENDER EQUALITYGENDER INEQUALITYGENDER STEREOTYPINGGROUP WORKERSHEALTH CAREHUMAN CAPITALHUMAN RESOURCEHUMAN RESOURCESHUSBANDSIMMIGRANTIMMIGRANT STATUSIMMIGRANTSIMPACT ON CHILDRENIMPERFECT INFORMATIONINCOMEINDIGENOUS PEOPLESINFORMAL ECONOMYINFORMAL LABOR MARKETSINFORMAL SECTORINFORMED CONSENTINTERNATIONAL CONVENTIONSJOB MARKETJOB SEARCHESJOB SEEKERKINSHIPLABOR FORCELABOR FORCE PARTICIPATIONLABOR MARKETLABOR MARKET DISCRIMINATIONLABOR MARKET EXPERIENCESLABOR MARKET ISSUESLABOR MARKET OUTCOMESLABOR MARKET SEGMENTATIONLABOR MARKETSLABOR SUPPLYLABOR UNIONSLABOURLABOUR FORCELABOUR FORCE PARTICIPATIONLABOUR MARKETLABOUR MARKET OUTCOMESLABOUR MARKET SEGMENTATIONLABOUR MARKETSMALE COUNTERPARTSMANPOWERMARKET COMPETITIONMARKET SURVEYSMIGRANT WORKERSMIGRANTSMIGRATION POLICIESMINORITYMONOPOLYNATIONAL COUNCILNATIONAL LAWSNATIONAL ORIGINNURSESOCCUPATIONOCCUPATIONSOLDER PEOPLEOLDER WOMENON-THE-JOB TRAININGPARENTAL LEAVEPARTICIPATION OF WOMENPOLICY IMPLICATIONSPOLICY LEVELPOLICY RESEARCHPOLICY RESEARCH WORKING PAPERPOLITICAL ECONOMYPOLITICAL POWERPOLITICAL SOLIDARITYPREGNANCYPREGNANT WOMENPREVIOUS WORKPRICE DISCRIMINATIONPRIMARY SCHOOLPRIVATE SECTORPRODUCTIVITYPROGRESSPUBLIC SECTOR EMPLOYEESPUBLIC SECTOR JOBSRACIAL DISCRIMINATIONRACIAL INEQUALITIESRACISMRENTSRESIGNATIONRESPECTRETIREMENTRURAL AREASSAFETYSAME SEXSCHOOL STUDENTSSELF EMPLOYMENTSEX DISCRIMINATIONSEXISMSEXUAL HARASSMENTSEXUAL ORIENTATIONSKILLED LABORSOCIAL AWARENESSSOCIAL CAPITALSOCIAL CHANGESOCIAL CLASSSOCIAL DEVELOPMENTSOCIAL GROUPSOCIAL INCLUSIONSOCIAL INEQUALITYSOCIAL MOBILITYSOCIAL MOVEMENTSSOCIAL NORMSSOCIAL PRESSURESOCIAL SECURITYSOCIAL STATUSSOCIAL TRANSFORMATIONSTATE UNIVERSITYTRADE UNIONSTRADITIONAL OCCUPATIONSUNDOCUMENTED MIGRATIONUNEMPLOYEDUNINTENDED CONSEQUENCESURBAN AREASVIOLENCEVULNERABILITYWAGE DIFFERENTIALSWAGE DISCRIMINATIONWAGESWDRWOMANWOMEN MIGRANTSWOMEN WORKERSWORKERWORKFORCEWORKING CONDITIONSYOUNG MENYOUNG WOMENYOUNGER WORKERS10.1596/20139
