contents Racial discrimination: theories, facts and policy Marco Fugazza This article discusses the relevance of major theoretical and empirical findings in assessing the impact of race-based discrimination on the labour market. The author reviews how various forms of socio-economic interaction and intergenerational propagation mechanisms are evaluated. However, debate continues over the interpretation of the research, notably whether disparities express current discrimination or the residue of past discrimination and/or human capital deficiencies. He reviews the policy implications, also considering the impact of human capital accumulation, housing segregation, and racial discrimination as a factor explaining the male/female wage gap. He concludes that policy intervention should be multidimensional, with broad social involvement. publication.journalArticle
