This study investigates bureaucratic discrimination against fathers with typical Danish versus Muslim names when requesting school transfers. We surveyed 1,698 Danish primary schools. Both groups received similar initial response rates but faced stark differences in outcomes.
✅ Key Finding: Discrimination via allocative exclusion was significant—Danes accepted at 25%, Muslims only 15%
❓ Mechanism: Administrative burdens disproportionately affected Muslim fathers, requiring more additional questions during the process
🔍 Methodology: We designed a national audit by contacting schools with identical requests from different ethnic backgrounds to reveal implicit biases
