EDITORIAL LEARNING AID
Why is this answer correct?
Disadvantaging someone because of motherhood or gender is prohibited by the General Equal Treatment Act (§ 1 AGG). Answer d is therefore correct. Lack of English (a), high salary expectations (b) and no professional experience (c) can, by contrast, be objective reasons for rejecting an application.
Rejection because of motherhood is discrimination under the AGG.
