Scenario 19-6
The after-school tutoring industry is competitive, and so is the labor market for after-school tutors. Suppose male and female tutors have equal experience and skill. Currently, some tutoring centers are biased and will only hire male tutors, whereas unbiased tutoring centers desire to hire the cheapest tutors and do not care about their genders. As a result, the equilibrium wage for male tutors is higher than that of female tutors.
-Refer to Scenario 19-6. Long-run competition in the after-school tutoring market is consistent with which of the following statements, assuming consumers do not discriminate between male and female tutors?
A) Tutoring centers only hiring male tutors have lower cost, leading to an increase in the demand for male tutors.
B) All firms that hire only male tutors will shut down because they are not able to compete.
C) All firms that hire only female tutors will shut down because they are not able to compete.
D) Nothing will change; all firms will continue to operate as they do now.
