an article by Marc Fleurbaey (University of Princeton) and Vito Peragine (University of Bari) published in Economica Volume 80 Issue 317 (January 2013)
Abstract
We study the difference between the ex post and ex ante perspectives in equality of opportunity.
We show that the well documented conflicts between compensation and reward are but an aspect of a broader conflict between ex ante and ex post perspectives.
The literature that takes the goal of providing equal opportunities as the guiding principle generally considers that this is implemented only when, ex post, all individuals with the same effort obtain equal success.
It is easy to believe that ex ante compensation is another natural embodiment of the same idea. We show that this is not true.

Mapping anti-discrimination law onto inequality at work: …
Expanding the meaning of equality in international labour law
an article by Colleen Sheppard (McGill University, Montreal, Canada) published in International Labour Review Volume 151 Issue 1-2 (June 2012)
Abstract
This article explores the evolving relationship between the concept of discrimination in international labour law and the socio-economic phenomenon of inequality at work.
While non-discrimination was initially understood as a fairly limited legal principle mandating equal treatment for similarly situated individuals, it subsequently expanded to address indirect discrimination resulting from apparently neutral rules, standards and practices at work.
It has expanded further to take on group-based patterns of inequality at work related to the structural constraints of the market, the family and community life, ultimately resulting in convergence between anti-discrimination law and legal initiatives to reduce class-based socioeconomic inequality and poverty.
