Does the constitution explicitly prohibit discrimination at work?

No specific provision means that the constitution does not specifically prohibit discrimination at work generally. This does not mean that discrimination at work generally is permitted, only that it is not explicitly forbidden.

Aspirational or guaranteed only to certain groups means that a prohibition of discrimination at work generally is either granted in non-authoritative language – the country “endeavors” to provide this protection, or it is the “responsibility” of the government to provide it – or granted only to a specific group – for example, only to women.

Guaranteed universally means that discrimination at work generally is explicitly prohibited.
