Abstract

Pregnancy discrimination in the workplace is a pervasive business legal issue that harms the health and well-being of women who experience it. It refers to the adverse treatment of employees, applicants, and independent contractors based on pregnancy, childbirth, or related medical conditions, including lactation. This type of illegal discrimination is a public health issue. It can lead to economic insecurity, adverse physical and mental health outcomes, and decreased access to quality healthcare for affected women. This chapter explores the literature to develop recommendations and practical, real-world organizational solutions.
