Reveal correct answer
Correct answer: B
Explanation
Pregnant women and children are considered 'disadvantaged' by the UN. The other groups the UN call disadvantaged include; the elderly, the immunocompromised, those with disabilities and those living in poverty. This is the list given in the study guide.
A company could help disadvantaged groups in several ways. Firstly by offering employment (obviously not to the children). It could also include helping these groups as part of a Social Value outcome or community benefit scheme.
