“…Moreover, Albanians have higher access to housing in areas closer to the Athens centre, suggesting the role of landlords in creating residential ethnic segregation. In addition, Drydakis (2011b) suggests that higher housing discrimination is observed in higher status areas. This outcome suggests that the existence of isolated and racially segregated housing may be a result of prejudice and/or negative stereotypes against Albanians.…”

Using a field experiment for the period 2008-2009, we examine the impact of ethnicity on women's labour market outcomes four years after the national adoption of the European Racial and Employment Equality Directives. The estimations lead to the observation that ethnic women face a lower chance of occupational access than comparable Greek women, while, ethnic women's wage offers are also discriminatory. The estimations suggest that there is segregation and crowding which refers to the fact that ethnic and Greek women face different chances of occupational access based on jobs' status. Whilst, ethnic women's easier access to low-status jobs entails lower wages for them. Interestingly, however, ethnic women gain by providing information about themselves to employers. On average, distastes against ethnic women are discussed and appear to explain the biases found here. The segregation pattern of ethnic women in low-status jobs and employers' statistical motivations are also found to influence their labour performance.

“…These pre-conditions are: the widespread acceptance of a positive multicultural ideology; relatively low levels of prejudice and discrimination, no specific intergroup hatreds; and a sense of attachment to, or identification with, the larger society by all groups. In Greece, Drydakis (2010Drydakis ( , 2011a and Drydakis and Vlassis (2010) found patterns of ethnic segregation and extensive discrimination in the labor and housing market that might jeopardise immigrants' integration. When the media occasionally bring to light conflicts between immigrants and Greeks, immigrants complain that they face prejudice, and nationals complain that quiet places turn into ghettos.…”

“…In Greece, the scarce economic studies suggest that immigrants face lower wages than natives; are segregated in low status occupations, and are discriminated against in the labor and housing market (Lianos et al, 1996;Demousis et al, 2010;Drydakis and Vlassis, 2010;Drydakis, 2010;Drydakis, 2011a). Unfortunately, however, ethnic identity and employment outcomes have not been subject to examination 1 .…”

Treating ethnic identity as a composite of key cultural elements the estimations suggest that employment is positively associated with assimilation and integration and negatively associated with separation and marginalization. In all cases, assimilation provides the highest employment returns, whilst, marginalization provides the highest employment losses. This study adds to the literature by setting up hypotheses, and directly measuring immigrants' ethnic identity commitments. The current results have potentially important implications for post-immigration policies indicating that assimilation and integration policies may be beneficial in terms of labor market outcomes.JEL Classification: F22, J15, J16, Z10

“…Albanian minority(Drydakis, 2011) and, more recently,Ausperg et al's (2017) experiment in Germany, published after Rich's review, revealed discrimination against the Turkish minority, especially among those of low socio-economic status. Results from Combes et al's (2017) experiment involving African immigrants in French apartment blocks are suggestive of 'neighbourhood discrimination' effects, meaning that landlords who own multiple residential units within one building are reluctant to cater to minorities in case doing so would impact negatively on the price of their remaining units.…”
