Based on a correspondence experiment, this article examines if the size of population of foreign background in a city exerts any significant effect on the extent of labour-market discrimination faced by job applicants of migrant origin. The study results find neither any statistically significant relationship between the two, nor do they lend support to the group threat and group contact conceptual frameworks. Rather, they appear to corroborate the pure discrimination model, as discrimination seems to be uniformly spread over all cities and all types of jobs with different characteristics. However, the findings of this study do not exclude the possibility that there could be a threshold value in the share of foreign population after which the picture of discrimination would become richer in nuances and some of the theories would gain more explanatory power.
基于一项通信实验，本文探讨了城市中外国背景人口的规模是否对移民出身的求职者在劳动力市场上面临的歧视程度产生任何显著影响。研究结果既没有发现两者之间存在任何统计学上的显著关系，也没有为群体威胁和群体接触概念框架提供支持。相反，它们似乎证实了纯粹的歧视模型，因为歧视似乎均匀地分布在所有城市和所有具有不同特征的工作类型中。然而，本研究的结果并不排除存在一个外国人口比例的阈值的可能性，超过这个阈值，歧视的情况将变得更加复杂，一些理论将获得更大的解释力。
