This article provides an analysis of laws across all 193 United Nations countries that protect workers from discrimination in access to employer-provided training. We assessed the overall level of protection and the characteristics most commonly protected, as well as the extent of variation across geographic regions and country income. Overall, 60 per cent of countries were found to offer specific protections from discrimination in access to training for at least one of the seven protected characteristics, which was significantly less than the percentage of countries offering protections from discriminatory hiring or terminations. Gender was the most commonly protected characteristic, whereas sexual orientation was least commonly protected. These findings suggest that employer-provided training is less well-protected from discrimination when compared with other aspects of employment and that there is variation in protection across socio-demographic characteristics and geographic regions. Additional legislation may be needed to ensure equitable access to training for all workers.

立法保护免受雇主提供的培训中的歧视

本文对联合国所有193个国家/地区的法律进行了分析，这些法律保护工人在获得雇主提供的培训方面不受歧视。我们评估了总体保护水平和最常受保护的特征，以及地理区域和国家收入之间的差异程度。总体而言，发现有60％的国家在受保护的七个特征中的至少一个特征方面提供了在培训方面不受歧视的具体保护，这大大低于提供不受歧视性雇用或解雇的国家的百分比。性别是最常受保护的特征，而性取向则最不易受保护。这些发现表明，与就业的其他方面相比，雇主提供的培训在保护方面不受歧视的程度较低，而且在社会人口统计学特征和地理区域的保护方面也存在差异。可能需要其他立法以确保所有工人都能平等地获得培训。
