Abstract

This symposium aims to advance our understanding of how labor market discrimination influences individuals in their career choices by examining career decisions such as entrepreneurship, intrapreneurship, and career mobility. Each presentation in our symposium will focus on one of these career choices and elaborate on how and why individuals facing discrimination in the labor market make certain decisions. Furthermore, the papers will explore how such career choices help or hinder individuals to overcome the labor market discrimination that they face in the labor market. A notable feature of our symposium is that the four papers each examine a different population - formerly incarcerated individuals, racial minorities, and women (with children). Collectively, our symposium will present a unique opportunity to better understand the boundary conditions under which each minority group experiences and responds to labor market discrimination.
