Indirect discrimination and the gendered realities of part-time work. Review of the Joined Cases IK (C-184/22) and CM (C-185/22) v KfH Kuratorium für Dialyse und Nierentransplantation eV,EU:C:2022:1011

Abstract

This article examines the KfH Kuratorium decision and its broader implications for gender equality, discrimination against part-time workers, and statistical evidence requirements in proving indirect discrimination under EU law. It explores how the CJEU's ruling interprets the principle of non-discrimination in cases involving unequal treatment of part-time workers, particularly women, and how it compares to other areas of discrimination law, such as nationality-based discrimination.
