Um estigma é uma marca associada a características negativas, que por sua vez leva à discriminação. Particularmente, estigmas podem ser prejudiciais no mercado de trabalho, uma vez que podem afetar psicologicamente o(a) trabalhador(a). Para os moradores de favelas, o endereço residencial é um estigma. O estudo busca entender os efeitos de possuir esse estigma (e esperar discriminação) em decisões de candidatura a empregos e desempenho em entrevistas.
