Labor market discrimination refers to the unfair treatment of individuals in the labor market based on certain characteristics such as race, gender, age, religion, or disability. It occurs when employers make hiring, promotion, or wage decisions based on these characteristics rather than on the individual's qualifications or abilities. This discrimination can result in certain groups of people facing barriers to employment opportunities, lower wages, and limited career advancement. It is a form of inequality that can lead to economic inefficiency and social injustice.
