Description

The diversity of Latin American cultures – as well as changing demographics, growing migration in search of work and a rapidly changing business environment – have contributed to discrimination in the workplace becoming a key issue in this region. Gender inequality in particular is highlighted as an area of concern. During this session, we will consider whether enough is being done to tackle discrimination and gender inequality. We will look at the latest developments and hot employment law issues in workplaces in this region and will hear the experiences of lawyers practicing in this region on the key considerations from an employer and employee representative perspective, especially with regard to collective labour law.
