Despite campaigns after campaigns and a variety of gender sensitization measures, women are by far the largest discriminated group across the planet, reveals International Labour Organisation’s first report on discrimination at work.
The report, released internationally on Monday, carries a very comprehensive study on discrimination, entitled "Time for Equality at Work". The report warns that neglecting to tackle "widening socio economic inequalities" in the world of work not only amounts to accepting a "waste of human talent and resources" but could have "disastrous effects on national social cohesion, political stability, and hence growth" in the years to come.
Women are by far the largest discriminated group. Although more and more women are working, much remains to be done. In addition to the "glass ceiling", the pay gap between women and men is still significant in most countries. The study points out that women are also more likely than men to be found in the lower-paid and least secure jobs. Unemployment rates have almost always been higher for women than men. The report shows that many of those who suffer from discrimination--especially on the basis of their sex or colour--face a persistent "equality gap" that divides them from dominant groups who enjoy a better life, or even from their own peers who have benefited from anti-discrimination laws and policies.
The failure to eradicate discrimination helps perpetuate poverty. The discriminated are often among the poorest of the poor, and poverty is more severe among women and other discriminated groups. Discrimination creates a web of poverty and social exclusion, the re port says, adding that "eliminating discrimination is indispensable to any viable strategy for poverty reduction and sustainable economic development".
The ILO study observes that everyone gains from eliminating discrimination at work individuals, enterprises and society at large. Fairness and justice at the workplace boosts the self-esteem and morale of workers. A more motivated and productive workforce enhances the productivity and competitiveness of businesses. A more even distribution of opportunities to develop and use one’s talents, among different groups in society, contributes to social cohesion in increasingly diverse societies.
According to the study, failing to deal with inequality in the workplace.
