Abstract

This article presents the theoretical framework and the results of a research conducted in a brewery with respect to the concept of gender discrimination. The main objective of the research is to identify gender inequalities and to describe organisational practices that reflect occupational segregation. The study shows that although there are equal opportunities on the labour market between women and men, there are differences in compensation and options for advancement at work, because women tend to give grater attention, time and effort to family and children than men.
