Is workplace discrimination in Singapore still prevailing
In recent years, workplace gender discrimination has gained recognition worldwide since unethical activities such as sexism in large corporations are exposed regularly. While the Ministry of Manpower has enacted legislation to combat employment discrimination, workplace discrimination singapore is still a popular talk and happens in more places than you think! Many employers subtly discriminate without explicitly informing, which can be hard to expose. Here are a few types of workplace discrimination commonly reported in Singapore!
- Working mothers
With a lower salary than their male coworkers, working mothers receive so much discrimination just because they have an added responsibility in their life. This makes employers think that they won’t put in as much work. Most working mothers even struggle to get a job. After that comes the low likelihood of promotion or even earning as much as their male counterparts!
- Older workers
Many older workers are underestimated and judged based on their age. It is a standard convention to believe that older people cannot do their work correctly and will age and retire soon. Hence, employers give them lower salaries and even give them lower salaries and sometimes force them out of work. A good company should provide a salary that reflects the employees’ experience and performance.
In addition, people with disabilities are also looked down on and not given the necessary equipment to work correctly. With such backward thinking still dominant even in top cities, it’s high time to bring this to light and prevent such unfair practices for the betterment of the world.
