Excellent- More about Class and Social Background Discrimination in the Modern Workplace: Mapping Inequality in the Digital Age
This book explores how employment practices in the digital age perpetuate inequalities based on class and social background, such as using social media for recruitment, assessing socio-economic data to filter candidates, replacing human interviewers with artificial intelligence, and digitalization and remote work disproportionately affecting vulnerable groups. It proposes law reform and improvements to workplace policy to address these issues.

This book delves into the intricate web of inequalities that emerge from employment practices in the digital age, shedding light on the profound impact of class and social background on job opportunities. It explores a range of concerning scenarios where social media is exploited to invade private lives and conceal job advertisements based on geographical location, algorithms are employed to assess socio-economic data and filter candidates, human interviewers are replaced by artificial intelligence systems designed to disadvantage individuals with classed language, and already vulnerable groups become victims of digitalization and remote work.
The author meticulously examines whether these practices pose risks of discrimination based on various protected attributes, including social origin in international labor law and laws in Australia and South Africa, social condition, and family status in laws within Canada, and other relevant jurisdictions. Through comprehensive analysis and thoughtful insights, the book proposes essential law reform and improvements to workplace policy aimed at creating a more equitable and inclusive environment for all.
This thought-provoking work serves as a crucial reminder of the urgent need to address the growing disparities in the job market and promote fair and equal opportunities for all individuals, regardless of their social background or economic status. By shedding light on the pernicious effects of discrimination in the digital age, this book offers valuable guidance for policymakers, employers, and individuals seeking to create a more inclusive and prosperous future.
