Discrimination may be based on age. For example, when still quite a young man, just to get a diploma, do not want to take the service - say, still young, inexperienced! Or you may have problems with employment a person experienced, highly qualified, but age is approaching retirement.
Perhaps, after all, do not go to extremes, sparing himself and calling on the heads of various woes heartless employers. This, incidentally, is very beautiful sins floor, tend to see the manifestation of sex discrimination even where it and there is no trace. Better objectively and dispassionately assess the situation to work out the best tactics.
Yes, according to the law in Russia gender equality. Nor any law can not overcome the difference due to the nature! Men and women have very different physiology and psychology, which is why there are areas of activity that are more appropriate for men and, therefore, other areas where women are better.
It's no secret that men for the most part are capable of faster and more complete coverage of the problem as a whole, in its entirety, while women are better versed in the details. Again, women are more emotional, prone to mood swings. This, rather than the notorious male chauvinism in the majority of cases the employer is guided by solving: whom to appoint to a post here, man or woman.
In addition, we must not forget the main function of the woman - procreation. Of course, the birth of a child - happiness, but for the employer, this means that the former employee will not be a long time to appear on the service. Consequently, its responsibilities have to be distributed among other employees. In addition, to dismiss it by law can not, as you please pay careful to pay. Agree, very few people will be delighted at the prospect!
Therefore, the best way for a woman - to prove a matter of a high professional level, to become a truly indispensable. Then, most likely, her under any circumstances do not have to complain about discrimination.
