Abstract

Reasonable employment opportunities and fair working environments play an important role in determining a country's economic progress. Discrimination of employees on the grounds of caste sex or religion may be detrimental to the work environment. The wage rates and payment patterns in India differ widely across the country. Wage rates are different for men and women, with women paid less than men for the same work. The division of labour on gender lines has serious implications for earnings of men and women. The legislature has enacted civil and criminal laws to specifically address issues that might hinder productive work or availability of employment opportunities. Despite the presence of various legislations that cover specific aspects of equality it cannot be denied that we need an all-encompassing anti-discrimination law and suitable policies that would extensively address the varied dimensions of inequality.
