In which situation can gender discrimination occur indirectly?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: A rule looks same for all but excludes women with care burden

The direct answer is A. Indirect discrimination occurs when a rule appears neutral and is written for everyone, but its actual effect disadvantages a particular group. Step by step: the rule is applied to all workers; women carrying greater unpaid care responsibilities may be unable to meet it; the result is that more women are excluded; therefore the unequal impact reveals indirect discrimination. Option A is correct. Option B, clearly paying women less, is direct discrimination because the unequal treatment is openly based on sex. Option C, refusing jobs to women, is also direct discrimination because exclusion is explicit. Option D, writing only male candidates, openly indicates direct gender preference rather than an apparently neutral rule. The important exam idea is to examine outcomes, not merely the wording of a policy. A fair review should ask whether the rule is necessary, whether it can be adjusted and whether it creates avoidable barriers. Memory cue: neutral wording plus unequal effect means indirect discrimination.
