RC28 Social Stratification (host committee)
Language: English
Session Type: Oral
Labor markets have become more open, flexible, and rationalized. Emerging institutions and practices, including algorithmic hiring, labor market intermediation, and on-line job posting systems used by both employers and job seekers, increasingly structure how demand and supply are matched in modern labor markets. The proposed section seeks papers that examine how the digitalization of the labor market structures such stratification processes as employer recruitment and selection, worker search, and job matching. The section calls for papers using a variety of methodologies and sources of data, including data generated from on-line hiring sites as well as more traditional survey and interview sources.
