WORKPLACE DISCRIMINATION
Gender discrimination is caused by the sense that certain occupations
are a 'man's job' or a 'woman's job'. While there are laws against this type
of discrimination, it is still often a determining factor when hiring
someone.
PHYSICAL FACTOROften because women are physically weaker than men, they are more
easily abused and discriminated against men.
Several state and federal laws prohibit gender discrimination and offer
remedies for such behavior in employment as well as in education and
financial institutions.
The Civil Rights Act prohibits discrimination on the basis of sex.
The Equal Pay Act promotes equality between men and women who
perform the same job duties in the same workplace.
Diversity and inclusion policies also help to remedy gender
discrimination by promoting equality between the sexes.
