Question

Princess Agyapong · Accepted Answer

Final Answer : False, Explanation :  BFOQs are legally allowed considerations that an employer can use to hire based on specific qualities like age, sex, religion, etc., but they must be genuinely necessary for the job's performance. The argument that a younger employee will project a better, more energetic image is generally considered discriminatory and not a valid BFOQ, as it is not directly related to job performance or safety.
