Abstract
This paper contributes to the discourse on hiring discrimination by introducing an analytical process model that offers a template for the systematic analysis of discrimination within the process of labour market integration. Its usage and contribution to the field is exemplarily presented by applying the proposed model to the case of ageism. Five phases and four actors are distinguished that, added together, make up the pro-posed analytical process model. In the following, the analytical process model is used as an analytical framework for a literature review, aimed at identifying and critically evaluating the vast and extensive literature on ageism in the process of labour market integration. The paper concludes that ageism occurs in all five phases of the integration process, pinpointing potential areas for policy interventions. Further, we conclude that the existing literature on ageism in labour market integration is fragmented, with some elements and/or actors within the process having received little attention so far. The analytical process model developed in this paper provides the scientific community with a tool to systematize literature, detect underlying mechanisms, and uncover ex-isting research gaps; not only for the here presented case of ageism, but for a vast varie-ty of other -isms. In addition, policy makers, trade unions and employers can use the Model to better target and tailor anti-discrimination measures.
