AQA A-Level Economics: Wage Discrimination and Employment Tribunal Cases
Do labour markets always reward workers according to their productivity?
Save preparation time with an enquiry-led discrimination lesson, including a detailed teacher guide written to support non-specialists and teachers new to A-level Economics.
Students draw on their understanding of wage determination to investigate when differences in pay or employment opportunities suggest discrimination. Guided questioning explores the conditions that allow discrimination to persist and traces the consequences for workers, employers and the wider economy.
An application worksheet contains four adapted UK Employment Tribunal cases covering sex, disability, age and race discrimination. Students weigh evidence against alternative economic explanations, apply the conditions for discrimination and explain the wider consequences. Structured questions and sentence starters support a judgement rather than simply asking students to identify discrimination.
What’s included?
- Editable PowerPoint with retrieval, case scenarios, guided questioning, economic explanations and consolidation.
- Four-case tribunal source-and-task worksheet, with structured application and judgement guidance.
- Detailed Word teacher guide explaining the economics, with slide-by-slide prompts, expected answers and misconception checks—support for preparation as well as classroom delivery.
Designed for Year 2 AQA A-level Economics, drawing together learning from the labour-market unit.
Specification: 4.1.6.7 — Discrimination in the labour market.
