Work, age and gender

Household labour often remains invisible because it is unpaid. In exams treat unpaid work as real work.

Giving roles according to ability and health is age appropriate. In exams connect age friendly work with safety.

The direct answer is A: work should be evaluated by skill, quality, and performance rather than gender. Fair evaluation asks how well a person completes the assigned work, what skills are demonstrated, and what results are achieved. Gender is not a valid measure of competence. Option A is correct because skill, quality, and performance are relevant evidence of work. Option B, clothing colour, is irrelevant and cannot show ability. Option C, home address, is also irrelevant; where someone lives does not determine the quality of their work. Option D, only age, is wrong because age alone neither proves competence nor proves inability. Experience or age may sometimes be considered in a specific context, but evaluation must not be based only on age and must remain related to job requirements. The same fair standard should be applied to all genders. Memory cue: merit means what a person can do and how well they do it, not appearance or identity.

Intergenerational cooperation combines experience and new technology. In exams connect it with mutual learning.

Restricting application by gender without a valid reason is bias. In exams connect job access with equality.

The direct answer is B: the workplace should provide age-friendly training and support. Lifelong learning means people can gain new knowledge and skills throughout life. An elderly worker may need a slower pace, clear instructions, practice time, accessible equipment, or mentoring, but age does not remove the right or ability to learn. Option A is wrong because stopping learning is discriminatory and wastes a worker’s potential. Option B is correct because it combines opportunity with reasonable support suited to the learner’s needs. Option C is wrong because removing the worker is unfair and assumes inability without evidence. Option D is wrong because mocking age creates humiliation and an unsafe workplace. The goal is inclusion: provide training, allow practice, and judge progress fairly. Memory cue: older does not mean unable; support the learner, do not exclude the person.

Dignity of work means that no work or worker should be treated as inferior because of the type of job, income, social status, age, or gender. Therefore, respecting every type of labour and every worker is correct. Respecting only high-income jobs goes against this principle. Exam tip: link dignity of work with equal respect for all labour.
