Abstract: In the Handbook of Labor Economics, labour market discrimination is defined as a situation where equally productive workers are treated unequally in a way that is related to an observable characteristic such as race, ethnicity or gender. Such unequal treatment is clearly bad for the individual involved, but it is also bad for the economy as resources are diverted from their most productive use.
