About this listen
In this episode, we look at a simple but uncomfortable question:
Does performance really matter most in the labor market – or does your name play a bigger role than we think?
The study by Leo Kaas and Christian Manger shows that applicants with foreign-sounding names are much less likely to receive a response – even when their qualifications are identical.
This means that a single difference in a CV can decide whether a door opens or stays closed.
The results make one thing clear: discrimination is not just a feeling – it can be measured and it affects real opportunities in life.
