What causes this postural discrepancy?

Normally weak rhomboids and/or serratus anterior.

How can it be remedied?

Depends on the individual circumstances, but exercises to get the shoulders back and down such as face pulls, pullaparts etc normally help, along with push up plus type movements for the serratus. On a slightly unusual tack, I think Turkish Get-Ups would help a lot if done correctly (with the shoulder pulled into the socket tightly throughout the movement).

Hope that helps,
Alex.
