Difference between Direct and Indirect Discrimination?
Direct discrimination is when you treat one group of people less favourably than others. Indirect discrimination is when you act in a way that appears to treat all people equally, but indirectly causes one group to be treated less favourably than others. For example: It would be direct discrimination if you paid women a lower hourly rate than men for doing the same work. It would be indirect discrimination if you paid part-time workers a lower rate than full time workers, because most part-time workers are women.
