ABSTRACT

Due to some reasons, such as the irregularity of work, domestic workers are susceptible to occupational discrimination. Studies have shown that language ability can reduce discrimination. So, is the ability of dialect of the working city related to occupational discrimination, can it reduce occupational discrimination? To answer this question, the research discussed its impact on the occupational discrimination of female domestic workers. Using the survey data and the instrumental variable CMP estimation method, it were found that female workers in domestic dialects with a worse dialect of the working city were significantly more likely to perceive occupational discrimination. The results show that the dialect ability of the working city has a significant impact on occupational discrimination. On these basis, the mechanism of the working city dialect ability on occupational discrimination was analyzed and discussed.
