"The book explores employment patterns and outcomes, and policies and practices from an equality and diversity perspective. It has five social groups as its focus - women, minority ethnic people, older people, disabled people, and lesbians and gay men. These five social groups are widely recognized as experiencing inequalities, discrimination and disadvantage in employment." "This second edition provides updated information on the labour market and legal contexts of diversity and explores new developments in the theory and practice of equality and diversity policy." "This book's primary aim is to act as a teaching and learning support to modules centred on equality, diversity or discrimination in employment and to allow students to acquire the contextual, theoretical and conceptual tools necessary to access and understand the rich variety of research-based literature in the field. It also provides a resource for researchers and academics interested in the field of equality and diversity, offering a synthesis of theoretical debates, latest research and writing in the area."--BOOK JACKET.
