David, N. (2014). Women with disabilities: Dual discrimination. Labor Education, 137.
According to David, even though the internal labor organization (ILO) has done enough to promote and protect the human rights of persons with disabilities, it has as well as helped in the struggle for equal treatment and equal opportunity in the workplace and society. More still needs to be done. The office of ILO, since its establishment, has recognized that people with disabilities have the same rights to productive and decent work in conditions such as freedom, equity, security, and human dignity. Therefore, it continues to foster such rights through existing labor standards, its advocacy, research, and technical cooperation initiatives. This publication serves as a great source for the study in comprehending existing efforts and laws on labor and touching of persons with disabilities.
Dimapilis-Baldoz, R. (2011). Job discrimination against women in the work environment: The Philippine Setting. Philippine Labor Review, 24(1).
Dimapilis-Baldoz assesses labor performance in the Philippines from a workers’ welfare perspective. The article presents the issues of women’s discrimination in the workplace. The author argues that the pervasive in-work poverty is the primary challenge that the Philippines’ labor policy continues to face. The primary cause of poverty is the relatively low earning capacity of women, together with the limited access to productive and regular jobs (Dimapilis-Baldoz, 2011). Past these two causes of discrimination, low education of women and scarcity of well-paying job opportunities are also other drivers. The industry has segmented jobs into bad and good, with women receiving the former. As such, women hold jobs that are temporary, informal, lowly paid, or causal.
The widespread informality implies that women do not benefit from the policy of minimum wage and laws on employment protection. Similarly, they are not beneficiaries of wage growth due to weaker bargaining power. In rural areas, good jobs are rare, and even well-educated women are often compelled to assume unskilled jobs. The author believes that labor regulations need to be simplified and more flexible to support relocation to more productive activities and to formal from informal. The source provides critical insights into the issue of women’s discrimination in the workplace, and it will be so informative to the proposed study.

The article describes how the ICT domain has confronted massive changes and developments, such as smaller and faster computers, more digital devices, the internet, convergence of digital platforms, and other operational aspects. These include outsourcing, professionals, and governments have examined the issues associated with media changes (Gotterbarn et al., n.d.). The article discusses the need to improve the ACS code, the procedure to be followed, and issues that need addressing. Some of the issues highlighted include the generality of the code, lack of procedures to address conflicting ethical principles, and ways to resolve them. In the context of Australia, the relationship between the ACS code and international codification and standards of ethics are reviewed. The article provides critical lessons from global experience in modifying labor codes.

The supranational character of the law has continued to modification of domestic law across all member states. European law, according to Heide (2009), has led to the advancement of equality among women and men across the Union. The article provides an insightful presentation on the progress of European institutions and law from a historical perspective. The author goes ahead to show the changes, examining ground-breaking judgments that European courts have arrived at throughout history. The scope and importance of this case law are mirrored by the broad selection of rulings on pay, pensions, pregnancy, part-time work, and maternity, as well as eligibility and night work for specific occupations. These insights will be critical in informing the paper regarding sex discrimination.
McGee, R. W. (2015). Ethical issues in outsourcing accounting and tax services. Ssrn Electronic Journal.
McGee believes that outsourcing is considered a practice that negatively impacts jobs and is also a means to low costs and reduces competition. The accounting profession continues to use outsourcing to offer its expertise that some firms may not access and to reduce the cost of provision of tax services and accounting (McGee, 2015). The practice continues to raise ethical questions on objectivity, integrity, and confidentiality. The author examines new ethical rulings and how they have been addressed. The article will help in understanding the outsourcing landscape and how the practice affects employment.
Pollak, D. V. (2016). I’m calling my lawyer… in India: Ethical issues in international legal outsourcing. UCLA Journal of International Law and Foreign Affairs, 11(1). 99-159.
The author assesses the controversy around outsourcing over recent years. Whereas proponents consider it as a means to promote business performance through the shipping of services, it provides direct employment on core business functions and complex services. Its opponents perceive it as a way of robbing domestic workers’ prime jobs through relocation (Pollak, 2016). Therefore, the author examines whether it is a viable option for creating more jobs. The article will contribute to our understanding of outsourcing as a means of job creation.

According to the article, the renaissance is a symbolic representation of sexual difference and gender identity. These differences are firmly grounded in the Neoplatonic and medieval misogynist traditions regardless of how unacceptable the terms are (Rigolot, n.d.). In the article, the author advances the Christian humanist perspective, comparing it with what he considers disturbing behavior. The author’s perspective will help in providing a differing view of the issue of misogyny and how it affects the labor market.
