Comparative Study on Anti-employment Discrimination Laws for Special Groups in China and the United States

Abstract

In society, employment discrimination against special groups often fails to receive due attention. Even in modern society, after being penalized, hidden discrimination still persists. This paper delves into the discrimination faced by special groups in the employment context and examines the differences in the protection of the legitimate rights and interests of special groups under the anti-employment discrimination laws of two countries. By adopting the comparative research method and literature research method, this paper compares and summarizes the legal characteristics of the two countries in anti - employment discrimination, and analyzes how relevant laws safeguard the rights and interests of special groups. This paper selects the legal provisions related to the workplace rights of special groups in the Chinese mainland, Hong Kong, China, and the United States, and conducts comparative and literature studies. The aim is to promote the two countries' emphasis on employment discrimination against special groups and the advancement of relevant laws.
