to distinguish on the basis of social status
Explanation:
For example, to lay off employees according to status (married/single, wife works/does not work, number of children, etc.)

"Die Angabe des Kündigungsgrundes ist im vorliegenden Fall wichtig. Bei Kündigung aus "betrieblichen Gründen", sprich Auftragsmangel, muss der Arbeitgeber eine Sozialauswahl treffen."
