Description:

Society Sector. All classes. Madden. This course is concerned with the structure, the causes and correlates, and the government policies to alleviate discrimination in the United States.

After a comprehensive overview of the structures of labor markets and of nondiscriminatory reasons for the existence of group differentials in employment and wages, various theories of the sources of discrimination are reviewed and evaluated. Actual governmental policies and alternatives policies are evaluated in light of both the empirical evidence on group differences and the alternative theories of discrimination.
