Introduction of Discrimination
Discrimination means treating some people differently
from others.
It isn't always unlawful - after all, people are paid
different wages depending on their status and skills.
However, there are certain reasons for which your
employer can't discriminate against you by law.

Racial Discrimination!

What is Race Discrimination..???

Racial (race) discrimination is when a person is

treated less favourably than another person in a

similar situation because of their race, colour,
descent, national or ethnic origin or immigrant
status.

For example:- It would be discrimination if a

real estate agent refuses to rent a house to a person
because they are of a particular racial background or
skin colour.

What Is Direct Discrimination?

Direct discrimination is when you're treated

differently and worse than someone else for certain

reasons.
The Equality Act says you've been treated less
favorably . Direct discrimination can be because
of: age , skin colour

What Is Indirect Discrimination?

Indirect discrimination is when there's a

practice, policy or rule which applies to everyone in

the same way, but it has a worse effect on some
people than others.
The Equality Act says it puts you at a particular
disadvantage.

Case Study for Gender Discrimination!

In 1972, as a part of a study on gender discrimination, 48 male
bank supervisors were each given the same personnel file and
asked to judge whether the person should be promoted to a
branch manager job that was described as 'routine".
The files were identical except that hall of supervisors had files
showing the person was male while the other half had files
showing the person was female.
It was randomly determined which supervisors got-male
applications and which got 'female' application
of the 48 files reviewed. 35 were promoted
The study is testing whether females we unfairly Discriminated
against.
