Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The definition of underutilization is when a group of individuals (such as women or persons of color) are underrepresented in the employer's workforce relative to their availability in the relevant labor market. Therefore, to prove underutilization exists, it must be shown that there is a disparity between the available labor pool and the employer's workforce. The four-fifths rule (A) is a method for determining adverse impact and does not directly relate to underutilization. Intentional discrimination (C) is not necessarily required to prove underutilization, as there may be systemic factors at play.
