Iist two facts that show what fair discrimination is?
Question: Iist two facts that show what fair discrimination is?
Certainly! Here are two facts that shed light on fair discrimination:
1. Discrimination in the Labor Market:
- Discrimination occurs when individuals with similar abilities are treated differently due to their identity or social backgrounds.
- Despite having the same educational qualifications and work experience as men, women in India face discrimination in the labor market due to societal and employer biases.
- The Oxfam India Discrimination Report reveals that discrimination is responsible for 100% of employment inequality faced by women in rural areas and 98% in urban areas.
- This discrimination contributes to the low Female Labor Force Participation Rate (LFPR) in the country, which was only 25.1% for both urban and rural women in 2020-21.
- Additionally, there is a significant gender pay gap in urban areas, where men's average earnings are nearly 2.5 times higher than women's in self-employment¹.
2. Historically Oppressed Communities:
- Beyond gender discrimination, historically oppressed communities such as Dalits (Scheduled Castes), Adivasis (Scheduled Tribes), and religious minorities like Muslims continue to face discrimination.
- In urban areas, the mean income for SCs/Dalits or STs/Adivasis with regular employment is INR 15,312, compared to INR 20,346 for the General Category.
- This means that the general category earns 33% more than SCs or STs.
- In self-employment, the average earnings are INR 15,878 for non-SCs or STs and INR 10,533 for SCs or STs.
- Rural SC and ST communities also experience increased discrimination in casual employment¹.
These facts highlight the pervasive impact of discrimination on various marginalized groups and underscore the need for fair and equitable practices in employment and livelihood opportunities.
