Question

If women are paid less than men, despite the same levels of education, they are less likely to have access to the best health care or to be able to afford a $40,000 down payment for a house, unless they are married. This is an example of ______.

Answer 1

Answer:

Side-effect discrimination

Explanation:

Side-effect discrimination is a concept when discrimination that occurs in one setting creates another discriminatory behavior in another setting. In the example, we can see how by discriminating women through not paying them equally as men, they are impacted negatively by being unable to afford a house and having access to the best health care.

Thus, the discrimination from the professional setting, follows the women to other settings as well, stemming from their lower compensation levels.
