El estigma de los antecedentes penales en el mundo laboral. Un estudio experimental
Publicado
08-08-2017
Resumen
Este trabajo se dirige a determinar si se debe considerar el efecto del estigma de los antecedentes penales para explicar la precariedad laboral de las personas con una condena en España. Los estudios previos no podían separar este efecto de otras posibles explicaciones como, por ejemplo, la prevalencia de déficits formativos o la ruptura de redes sociales por la condena. En base a Pager (2007), en este estudio se ha adoptado la metodología experimental de los Correspondence Tests, en la que se envían Currículums Vitae falsos equivalentes, excepto en la mención de un paso por prisión, a ofertas de trabajo reales, y se observa la diferente tasa de respuesta a cada perfil. Los resultados muestran que al menos parte de las personas con antecedentes penales reciben un trato desfavorable por el efecto del estigma.
