Do Schools Discriminate against Children with Disabilities? A Field Experiment in Sweden
Ahmed, Ali; Hammarstedt, Mats; Karlsson, Karl
Education Economics, v29 n1 p3-16 2021
This article presents the results of a field experiment in which fictitious parents of children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) sent inquiries to schools in Sweden about admission of their children to the mandatory preschool class. Results show that inquiries concerning a child with no medical condition were more likely to receive an invitation for a visit and more likely to receive a promising placement response than inquiries concerning a child with ADHD and T1DM. Discrimination was more prominent in the private sector and when the child was a boy or had ADHD.
