Abstract
This study explores the discrimination of individuals from the Islamic world in the Dutch labour market. There are about 800.000 people of Moroccan and Turkish descent living in the Netherlands which make up the majority of Muslims. It is seen that these minority groups experience discrimination, difficulties integrating and being left out. This has translated to the labour market as it is proven with a strong significance that individuals of Turkish, Moroccan, Egyptian and Iranian descent have 50 per cent lower odds to be invited for a job interview than native Dutch people. Moderating variables were used to test the relationship between ethnicity and invitation. These were whether applicants had good/no grades, were social or were hardworking. These moderating variables showed no significant moderating relationship. This startling difference between natives and people from the Islamic world can partially be attributed to the rise in political and societal Islamophobia in the Netherlands. Some politicians have demonized Muslims and their sacred religion since the start of the millennium. This has likely hurt the image of Muslims in the Netherlands and it is probable that this has had a negative effect on their chances of being hired.
