Introduction

Employment Discrimination Statistics: Working conditions remain one of the major issues worldwide where individuals are discriminated against because of their race, gender, age, disability, and religion, among other factors. In the year twenty-four, numerous publications and research studies have shown that gender discrimination in England has had a significant impact on the productivity of employees and the mental growth of the company and its employees.

Employment discrimination remains a critical challenge in England, with gender bias significantly affecting both organizational productivity and employee well-being. In 2024, 12 % of UK adults reported experiencing gender-based discrimination at work, rising to 27 % among non-binary individuals. Women earned a median of £672 per week compared to £773 for men—an hourly pay gap of 7.0 % for full-time employees and 13.1 % overall in April 2024 . Mental health also suffered: 52 % of young women (ages 16–30) reported mental health problems linked to sexism or harassment at work, and 42 % of young men reported similar issues.

Across the UK workforce, 15 % of employees had an existing mental health condition, while work-related stress led to 17.1 million lost working days in 2022–23. Financially, poor mental wellbeing costs employers an estimated £42 billion–£45 billion annually—approximately USD 52 billion–USD 56 billion at current exchange rates.

Employment discrimination statistics indicate that some improvement is noted, but there are still many areas that require considerable changes to facilitate equality among the employees.

In 2024, the majority of surveyed sportswomen in Great Britain, around ** percent, reported encountering sexism in their sport. Conversely, around ** percent stated that they had not experienced sexism.

A 2024 survey of female and non-binary football fans in England and Wales found that ** percent of respondents had witnessed whistling or wolf-whistling during a match. Additionally, ** percent of respondents reported having seen someone threatened with physical violence.

This dataset contains the data used in the study titled “Is hiding my first name enough? Using behavioural interventions to mitigate racial and gender discrimination in the rental housing market”. The data was collected from the London rental housing market between 2021 and 2022. Racial and gender biases are pervasive in housing markets. Males and ethnic minorities face discrimination in rental housing markets globally. The issue has been so pronounced that it regularly makes national and international headlines. In response to a racial discrimination lawsuit, Airbnb had to hide guests’ first names from rental hosts in Oregon, USA, starting in January 2022. Yet, there is little evidence that such measurement effectively counteracts racial and gender discrimination in housing markets.

Despite some well-established theoretical models developed more than half a century ago and a wealth of empirical evidence accumulated over the last two decades, studies examining effective solutions to combat discrimination remain sparse especially in housing markets. Given the complexity of the products and services involved and the relatively low frequency of transactions, nuanced studies are needed to understand how implicit racial and gender biases influence letting decisions.

This study investigates housing discrimination at the intersection where longstanding market behaviours meet the evolving insights of behavioural research. Although behavioural interventions have the potential to address both statistical and taste-based discrimination in the housing market, their successful implementation remains a challenge. Given the persistent biases and socio-economic dynamics in the housing market, interventions must be carefully tailored to the context.

By collecting evidence from field experiments, this research aims to gain insights into how real-world behavioural interventions can be effectively designed and implemented. Our focus remains twofold: to develop a robust theoretical framework and to translate its insights into tangible, impactful policy recommendations, with the ultimate goal of fostering a more inclusive housing market.

A June 2021 study investigated respondents' perceptions regarding sexism in sports in the United Kingdom.

As of February 2025, approximately 45 percent of women in Great Britain thought that more should be done to address equal pay in relation to gender inequality, compared with 25 percent who thought that it had already been achieved.

** percent of British adults thought that sexism was at least a fairly serious problem in football in 2022, compared to ** percent of respondents who did not think it was a serious problem. This is ** percent less than the share of adults who thought that racism was a problem in football.

The global gender gap index benchmarks national gender gaps on economic, political, education, and health-based criteria. In 2025, the country offering the most gender equal conditions was Iceland, with a score of 0.93. Overall, the Nordic countries make up 3 of the 5 most gender equal countries worldwide. The Nordic countries are known for their high levels of gender equality, including high female employment rates and evenly divided parental leave. Sudan is the second-least gender equal country Pakistan is found on the other end of the scale, ranked as the least gender equal country in the world. Conditions for civilians in the North African country have worsened significantly after a civil war broke out in April 2023. Especially girls and women are suffering and have become victims of sexual violence. Moreover, nearly 9 million people are estimated to be at acute risk of famine. The Middle East and North Africa have the largest gender gap Looking at the different world regions, the Middle East and North Africa have the largest gender gap as of 2023, just ahead of South Asia. Moreover, it is estimated that it will take another 152 years before the gender gap in the Middle East and North Africa is closed. On the other hand, Europe has the lowest gender gap in the world.
