dc.description.abstractAccess to employment and income opportunities for women is a fundamental right. Employment is a source of self-esteem, social standing and human dignity. Discrimination in the work place denies women of this fundamental right. Gender discrimination targeted mostly towards women is a violation of civil rights, and comes in the form of unequal access to education and health care, unequal pay, sexual harassment, pregnancy discrimination, glass ceiling, board room discrimination and such likes. The Nigerian Constitution provides for the protection of women in every stratum and the Labour Act covers labour conditions for women. Unfortunately, the provisions are scanty and grossly inadequate, just as the available provisions are scarcely enforced. At the International level, several treaties have been made to address gender-imbalance in the workplace, but developing countries still significantly lag behind in the provision of this fundamental right. This article seeks to analyse the effects of gender inequality in the workplace vis-a-vis the legal and institutional frameworks: access the effects of discrimination on women's output in the workplace; appraise gender discrimination in the workplace; analyse the national laws and international instruments that constitute the legal frameworks for the protection of women in the workplace and finally made recommendations for employers and policy makers on gender related issues.
