What if you are looking for work and another candidate for the job, as he snagged was thinner than you are?
Or what if a thinner, a colleague was paid more than you have? This is a disturbing thought.
Past studies have shown evidence of discrimination in the workplace, the weight of the women, but these studies have been carried out in accordance with the United States, where gender discrimination is more prevalent. Fortunately, a new study from the University of Iceland was published recently are displayed in the overweight and the employment rate fell by a strong correlation, in particular for women.
Iceland is the perfect place to carry out this type of research because of gender inequality in a low speed. For example, the first woman elected President of Iceland. So the results are disappointing, is still in the workforce, overweight women bias.
A study on the proportion of men on the labour and their weight. Overweight men had a positive connection to add jobs and was held by a little more. And we are talking about the difference between the small block does not change. Several studies have shown that the difference in pay thousands of dollars, even if you have 25 pounds overweight (University of Florida, US-research).
So what about this weight and sex bias we have?
It seems that even in countries where little is gender inequality, discrimination is still fat. Perhaps it is the subconscious discrimination in the employer's part, but that still is not justified.
The countries of the need to have the weight of the anti-discrimination legislation?
