在许多国家，劳动力市场结果方面的族裔和宗教差异一直持续存在。然而，一个非常著名的差异-北方尔兰的天主教/新教失业差异-已经基本上（尽管不是完全）消失了。本文描绘了自20世纪80年代初以来的下降趋势，并使用1991年，2001年和2011年的人口普查数据以及年度调查数据来研究潜在的解释。这些数据跨越了“麻烦”的结束、耶稣受难日协议的签署、公平就业立法的出台、隐性失业的增长以及北方爱尔兰的重大结构性变化。我们评估这些变化的潜在影响。
Ethnic and religious differentials in labour market outcomes within many countries have been remarkably persistent. Yet one very well‐known differential—the Catholic/Protestant unemployment differential in Northern Ireland—has largely (although not completely) disappeared. This paper charts its decline since the early 1980s and examines potential explanations using Census data from 1991, 2001 and 2011 together with annual survey data. These data span the ending of The Troubles, the signing of the Good Friday Agreement, the introduction of fair employment legislation, growth in hidden unemployment and major structural changes in Northern Ireland. We assess the potential impact of these changes.
