Promotion Discrimination

Promotion discrimination in the labor market occurs when employees are unfairly denied promotions based on characteristics unrelated to their job performance, such as race, gender, age, or other personal attributes. This means that, despite having the necessary skills and qualifications, certain individuals or groups may be overlooked for advancement opportunities. Such discrimination can lead to unequal job advancement and hinder career growth for affected employees, ultimately contributing to broader issues of inequality within the workplace and society. Addressing promotion discrimination is essential for fostering a fair and equitable labor environment.
