AGG
Abbreviation for Allgemeines Gleichbehandlungsgesetz
In short and in plain language
The AGG is a German law against unfair treatment.
It protects people from being treated worse. This can be due to gender, age, origin or disability.
It also covers job ads and job applications. So job ads are usually neutral. They speak to all genders.
Definition
The AGG is the German General Equal Treatment Act, which protects against discrimination, for example because of gender, age, origin or disability. It also covers job advertisements and application procedures. Job ads are therefore usually worded neutrally and address all genders.
