Why is there employment discrimination?

Employment discrimination refers to the behavior of discriminating some people in recruitment, employment, promotion, training and treatment. Based on race, gender, age, religious belief, marital status, sexual orientation and other factors unrelated to work. Employment discrimination not only violates the principles of human rights and equality, but also damages social equity and economic development.

There are many reasons for employment discrimination. Here are some common reasons:

First, people's general views are biased against certain groups, such as young people, women, ethnic minorities and foreigners.

Second, the mentality of recruiting and hiring people in enterprises. There are a large number of college graduates this year, and the company requires applicants to have many years of recruitment experience. This recruitment model has caused many candidates to lose the opportunity to recruit.

Third, some enterprises tend to employ local people when considering talent recruitment, in order to enhance cohesion and coordination ability, and they are biased against foreigners and outsiders, and they have adopted high employment requirements for these people when recruiting positions.

Fourth, enterprises discriminate against ethnic minorities in employment. These people are not necessarily lack of personal ability, but are discriminated against because of their low educational level, or because they come from underdeveloped areas or even migrant workers.

Fifth, gender discrimination in the workplace is also prominent. Generally, women's promotion is slow, and the distribution of wages and resources is unequal. Generally, senior management positions are occupied by men, while female positions are usually locked in non-leadership positions such as secretaries, clerks or customer service representatives.

How to eliminate employment discrimination? We can start from the following aspects:

First, raise public awareness and education on employment discrimination and reduce prejudice against certain groups.

Second, provide special employment services for some people, such as vocational training and youth entrepreneurship.

Third, establish perfect employment laws and regulations and severely crack down on employment discrimination.

Fourth, encourage diversified and transparent recruitment of enterprises and implement the equal employment policy.

Fifth, cultivate the thoughts and consciousness of generally respecting and understanding the differences in culture, religion and gender of different ethnic groups, realize mutual benefit among different groups, make the job market fairer and narrow the salary gap between different groups.

Through the above measures and efforts, we can continuously alleviate and eliminate employment discrimination and achieve social harmony and stability.
