Long march to end employment bias - 皇冠体育appdaily.com.cn

Editor's note: This special sheds light on employment discrimination in 皇冠体育app, including how job advertisements specify gender and age preferences, application forms require irrelevant personal information and recent discrimination cases in 皇冠体育app. It also points out that employment discrimination laws in 皇冠体育app need to be improved -- they need to strictly define prohibited practices and penalties.

Wrap up: Generally speaking, Chinese job-applications forms contain more personal information than foreign ones, including age, marital status and ethnicity. There is no evidence that a majority of Chinese employers use these questions to judge potential employees -- there is a possibility that some companies are just using a popular format and never take the personal information into consideration. But the point is, "the presence of these personal information questions leaves the door wide open for potential discrimination. It allows employers to discriminate people without declaring it," said Zhang Qianfan, law professor of Peking University.
