This work deals with sex discrimination in employment. It traces the origins of discrimination and considers the meaning of equality and the role which the law can play in attaining equality in the work place. International and regional norms, as well as the British and American legal systems, are analysed. The position in South Africa is then considered against that background, and reforms are proposed. These include the formulation of comprehensive anti-discrimination legislation which draws upon the American and British systems, but is adapted to suit local needs. The establishment of an independent administrative body to monitor the legislation, as well as a specialised judicial body through which the legislation is to be enforced, is also proposed. === School of Law === Thesis (LL.D.)--University of South Africa, 1992.
