Abstract

Despite widely-reported ethnicity disparities in pay and occupational attainment, little is known about how different ethnic groups fare in job control—a crucial component of job quality with significant implications for well-being and health. Drawing on two large-scale representative datasets in the United Kingdom (1992–2022), we find that workers from all Black, Asian, and Minority Ethnic (BAME) groups conditionally report significantly lower job control than their White British counterparts, although heterogeneity exists depending on the BAME group in question. Ethnicity penalties are also most pronounced for foreign-born workers. Despite a slow trend towards convergence, ethnicity disparities have remained significant over the last three decades. We further show that disparities are largely unexplained by compositional factors such as pay and occupation, demonstrating ethnicity penalties in job control. By linking ethnicity to job control, this study contributes to the growing research on BAME workers in the labour market, as well as the literatures on job quality and multisegmented labour markets.

英国工作控制方面的种族差异
尽管薪酬和职业成就方面的种族差异被广泛报道,但人们对不同种族群体在工作控制方面的表现却知之甚少,而工作控制是工作质量的重要组成部分,对幸福和健康有着重要影响。利用英国的两个大规模代表性数据集(1992-2022 年),我们发现所有黑人、亚裔和少数族裔(BAME)群体的工人都有条件地报告说,他们的工作控制能力明显低于他们的英国白人同行,尽管存在异质性,这取决于相关的黑人、亚裔和少数族裔群体。对于外国出生的工人来说,种族惩罚也最为明显。尽管趋同趋势缓慢,但在过去三十年中,种族差异依然显著。我们还进一步表明,薪酬和职业等构成因素在很大程度上无法解释差异,这表明在工作控制方面存在种族惩罚。通过将种族与工作控制联系起来,本研究为劳动力市场中黑人、亚裔和少数族裔工人的研究以及工作质量和多元劳动力市场的研究做出了贡献。
