This book exposes how inequalities based on class and social
background arise from employment practices in the digital age. It
considers instances where social media is used in recruitment to
infiltrate private lives and hide job advertisements based on
locality; where algorithms assess socio-economic data to filter
candidates; where human interviewers are replaced by artificial
intelligence with design that disadvantages users of classed
language; and where already vulnerable groups become victims of
digitalisation and remote work. The author examines whether these
practices create risks of discrimination based on certain protected
attributes, including ‘social origin’ in international labour
law and laws in Australia and South Africa, ‘social condition’
and ‘family status’ in laws within Canada, and others. The book
proposes essential law reform and improvements to workplace policy.
