Our objective is to investigate if hiring discrimination in France has a cyclical nature using an innovative set of repeated correspondence tests. The methodology covers one type of job only, that of administrative manager, in both the private and public sectors, and two discrimination criteria, ethnic origin and place of residence. The empirical analysis is based on five waves of tests starting in 2015, covering the periods before, during, and after the first lockdown, with 4749 applications sent for 1583 job openings in total. Our results indicate that hiring discrimination based on the dual criteria of origin and place of residence has decreased in France since the mid-2010s, within the context of an improved labor market, but that it increased sharply during the Covid health crisis, in recessionary conditions, suggesting that it generally follows a counter-cyclical behavior. Overall, the temporal patterns of discrimination, as measured by callback rates, mirror those of the unemployment rate.

- Discrimination in the workplace significantly affects mental health, and this study focuses on the specific impact of workplace gender discrimination (WGD) on depressive symptoms in Korean female employees.
- The research involved over 3500 female employees and examined their experiences of WGD across various dimensions, finding that 15-20% reported such discrimination.
- Results indicated that experiencing WGD related to wages was associated with a higher likelihood of developing depressive symptoms, highlighting the need for policy interventions to address gender equality in the workplace.

Workers in labor unions have better access to high quality health insurance plans, better pensions, and higher wages leading to increased lifetime earnings likely leading to better health. Additionally, much of the gendered hiring, promotion, and wage discrimination faced by women in the workplace is dependent on social characteristics (marital status and/or their status as a mother). While many of the benefits associated with union membership can potentially buffer the gendered workplace inequalities that lead to poorer health outcomes, unions have been largely ignored in health disparities literature.

Traditional hydraulic structures rely on manual visual inspection for apparent integrity, which is not only time-consuming and labour-intensive but also inefficient. The efficacy of deep learning models is frequently constrained by the size of available data, resulting in limited scalability and flexibility. Furthermore, the paucity of data diversity leads to a singular function of the model that cannot provide comprehensive decision support for improving maintenance measures.

What Is Already Known About This Topic?: Currently, there is no established scientific standard to guide disease control and prevention organizations in the selection of emergency response personnel. Given the growing risk of significant infectious disease outbreaks, it is imperative to develop an evaluation system for assessing emergency response capabilities.
What Is Added By This Report?: Drawing from competency theory, this study developed an assessment framework for evaluating the emergency response capabilities of staff at disease control and prevention institutions focused on major infectious diseases.
