Publisher's Synopsis
"Sex Discrimination in Employment" is a comprehensive guide to the legal complexities of a field of immense practical significance in labour law.;The author begins by placing the legislation, its aims and the philosophy behind it firmly in the context of social and economic issues. With extensive use of statistical data he examines the realities of the labour market and the causes of inequality and discrimination. He then provides analysis of the present case and statute law (including the 1989 employment legislation) and enforcement structure, including the impact of community measures, and the extent to which they have proved effective in promoting social change.;He concludes with a consideration of the desirability of further legislation and the extent to which discrimination might be reduced by non-legal techniques.
