Does legislation explicitly prohibit discrimination in access to employer-provided training on the basis of religion?
Map reflects policies in place as of August 2016. Updates of these data are currently in progress.
The term “religion” includes references to ‘creed’, ‘religious belief’, ‘religious opinion’, ‘religious adherence’, ‘religious community’ or ‘confession’. For the purposes of this variable, the term “religion” captures all of these definitions.
Employer-provided training
refers to vocational training or retraining opportunities provided by an employer.
No prohibition
means that legislation does not take an explicit approach to prohibiting discrimination in employer-provided training on the basis of religion. This does not mean that legislation denies this guarantee.
General prohibition of discrimination in training
means that legislation prohibits discrimination in employer-provided training generally— for example, by prohibiting discrimination based on “any status” or stating no worker may be discriminated against. This general prohibition is not specifically extended on the basis of religion.
Broad prohibition of workplace discrimination based on religion
means that legislation extends a prohibition of discrimination at the workplace on the basis of religion, but does not explicitly address discrimination in employer-provided training on this basis. These broad prohibitions use language that could extend prohibition of discrimination across any aspect of work.
Yes, religion-specific prohibition
means that legislation either: a) extends an explicit religion-based prohibition of discrimination in employer-provided training, or b) extends a broad prohibition of religion-based workplace discrimination alongside a general prohibition of discrimination in employer-provided training to all workers.
