Labor Market Discrimination

Labor market discrimination refers to the unfair treatment of individuals in hiring, wages, promotions, or job opportunities based on characteristics such as race, gender, age, or disability, rather than their skills and qualifications. This type of discrimination can lead to unequal pay and hinder career advancement for certain groups, impacting overall economic efficiency. It not only affects the individuals directly involved but also has broader consequences for society by perpetuating inequality and limiting diverse talent in the workforce. Addressing labor market discrimination is essential for creating a fair and productive economy.
