Does legislation explicitly prohibit discrimination in access to employer-provided training on the basis of race/ethnicity?
The term “race/ethnicity” includes references to ‘color’, ‘clan’, ‘ethnic origin’, or ‘ethnic groups’. For the purposes of this variable, the term “race/ethnicity” captures all of these definitions.
Employer-provided training
refers to vocational training or retraining opportunities provided by an employer.
No prohibition
means that legislation does not take an explicit approach to prohibiting discrimination in employer-provided training on the basis of race/ethnicity. This does not mean that legislation denies this guarantee.
General prohibition of discrimination in training
means that legislation prohibits discrimination in employer-provided training generally— for example, by prohibiting discrimination based on “any status” or stating no worker may be discriminated against. This general prohibition is not specifically extended on the basis of race/ethnicity.
Broad prohibition of workplace discrimination based on race/ethnicity
means that legislation extends a prohibition of discrimination at the workplace on the basis of race/ethnicity, but does not explicitly address discrimination in employer-provided training on this basis. These broad prohibitions use language that could extend prohibition of discrimination across any aspect of work.
Yes, race/ethnicity-specific prohibition
means that legislation either: a) extends an explicit race/ethnicity-based prohibition of discrimination in employer-provided training, or b) extends a broad prohibition of race/ethnicity-based workplace discrimination alongside a general prohibition of discrimination in employer-provided training to all workers.
