Which example shows both age and gender role affecting work opportunity?

Correct answer: An elderly woman not getting paid work due to age and domestic role

Work opportunities can be shaped by more than a person’s actual skill. Ageism occurs when someone is treated unfairly because of age, while gender bias occurs when expectations about being a woman or man restrict opportunity. An elderly woman who is denied paid work because she is considered too old and because domestic responsibilities are assumed to be her proper role faces both barriers at the same time. This is an example of overlapping or double discrimination.

Option B is correct because it explicitly includes age and domestic gender expectations. A trained young person receiving work for skill shows merit-based selection, not discrimination. Online application alone does not show unequal treatment, and equal pay for two colleagues suggests fairness. Inclusive employment should judge capability and provide reasonable support rather than reject a person based on age or stereotyped gender roles.
