Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The hiring practice described in the scenario is discriminatory because qualified female candidates are being passed over based on characteristics that are unrelated to their ability to perform the job. The senior managers are making assumptions about women's likelihood to miss work due to childcare responsibilities, which is a form of gender-based stereotyping.
