Discrimination Against People With Disabilities in Hiring and Strategies to Reduce It: Evidence From Resumes
โฟ People with disabilities are discriminated against when applying for jobs.
Ask most employers, and theyโll say: โ๐๐ ๐๐จ๐งโ๐ญ ๐๐ข๐ฌ๐๐ซ๐ข๐ฆ๐ข๐ง๐๐ญ๐.โ
So we tested it. We sent 1,500 real job applications.
The result? ๐๐ซ๐ ๐๐ง๐ข๐ณ๐๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง๐ฌ ๐๐ข๐ ๐๐ข๐ฌ๐๐ซ๐ข๐ฆ๐ข๐ง๐๐ญ๐. There is a gap between what employers SAY and what they DO.

Not the smartest people become leaders. Itโs the ones who talk the most.
This is known as the Babble Hypothesis.
๐ Their finding:
Regardless of intelligence or expertise, groups often pick the person who talks the most as their leader.

"People who nominate themselves to be in charge perform worse than managers appointed by lottery, in part because self-promoted managers are overconfident, especially about their social skills."

Miljoenen mensen kunnen ontsnappen aan armoede met hulp van de overheid, maar doen geen aanvraag voor bijvoorbeeld huurtoeslag.
Ze lopen tegen barriรจres aan. Ik noem dit welzijnsmuren: Welfare Walls.

Er zijn ook lichtpuntjes.
Werkgevers staan positief tegenover proefplaatsingen en trainingen.
Maar de vraag blijft: is dat genoeg om een structurele verandering te realiseren?
De inclusieve arbeidsmarkt is helaas nog ver weg.

A graph titled "Cost of Transport" showing the relationship between body weight (in kilograms) and energy consumption for distance traveled (calories per gram per kilometer) for various animals and machines. It highlights that a person on a bicycle ranks first in efficiency.
A person on a bicycle is by far the most energy-efficient among animals and machines per distance traveled relative to body weight. The bicycle is magic.

Note that the vertical axis in the figure starts at 46, not 0. But even when it would have, the results are the same (although less pronounced in a figure): working from home hurts performance evaluations, and it's more detrimental for women.
๐ฃ Working from home results in lower performance ratings๐ฃ
Managers give lower performance ratings to teleworkers than to office workers, even when holding performance constant.
Female teleworkers face an even greater disadvantage.

We show that Digital Transformation Leadership comprises two dimensions.
First, a Strategic dimension: how managers develop a vision, foster collaboration, and consider public preferences.
Second, an Operational dimension: how managers guide employees, internal processes, and outputs.

Governments try to adopt new digital technologies.
However, there was no reliable way to measure how public leaders are directing such transformations.
