How disparate impact discrimination and disparate treatment discrimination occur under Title VII.?

Question

How disparate impact discrimination and disparate treatment discrimination occur under Title VII, and their implications.

Answer 1

Disparate inpact means that as a group, some protected class overall is treated worse than the overall group - maybe something like fewer are hired, or promoted. This doesn't necessarily imply anything deliberate, but leaves the impression that there COULD be something deliberate going on.

Disparate treatment is more specific, and claims that a protected class, or someone from that class, is treated worse than others not in that class, because of their membership in the protected class.

Answer 2

I would say all child free individuals and couples face intrinsic discrimination is society. I am Australian and we recently had a general election for a new federal government. During the campaigning prior to the election, the politicians on both sides were frantically trying to out do each other in promoting tax breaks and special payments and services for families and mothers with babies. Of course this was no different from any other election in the past. The point is that single people subsidize the children of others through higher taxation. Govermental policies regard the needs of adults with children to be more important that that of childless adults. Nobody tries to entice the vote of the childless adults, they are not considered a legitimate demographic and even to suggest they are is often regarded as something perverse. Politicians have even said they are unashamedly pro-family biased in their policies and this is simply an admission they are discriminatory (but in a legal manner since there are no policies to protect single people as a demographic). I am childless by choice. I believe that our world has far too many people and a lot of people who demand the right to children are basically selfish. If they believe in children so much, why not adopt rather than give the overburdened planet (and single taxpayers) another mouth to freed?
