About the work package

In WP4, the societal challenge is to decrease institutional distrust towards labour market institutions and employers in Finland. Further on, the societal challenge to tackle is the structural discrimination and racism in the labour market.

WP4 will solve the challenge by addressing the characteristics and (hidden) structures of discrimination in the labour market by focusing on three target groups: racialized youth entering the labour market, employees who have entered jobs, and employers hiring them.
