Summary

Introduction

The concept of equality has been a fundamental issue in law as well as in society. The equality issue has been the highlight among other critical issues under the spotlight. From gender segregation until biased pay (Madhani, 2015), all kinds of unequal treatment have been the classic problems longing for a solution. According to an article from Harvard Business Review (Stainback & Devey, 2013), equal opportunity in employment has been a worldwide issue since 1964.
