Does legislation explicitly prohibit retaliation for reporting workplace discrimination based on migrant status?

Map reflects policies in place as of August 2016. Updates of these data are currently in progress.

The term “migrant status” includes references to ‘internal migrants’, ‘foreign migrant workers’, ‘immigrant status’, ‘foreign citizens’, and ‘economic migrants.’ For the purposes of this variable, the term “migrant status” captures all of these definitions.

No explicit prohibition of workplace discrimination based on migrant status means that legislation does not explicitly prohibit migrant status-based workplace discrimination broadly, nor specifically against discrimination in hiring, pay, promotions and/or demotions, nor terminations. This does not mean that legislation denies this guarantee.

No explicit prohibition of retaliatory action or dismissal means that legislation does explicitly prohibit at least one of these forms of workplace discrimination on the basis of migrant status. However, legislation does not pair protection(s) with an explicit prohibition of at least some form of retaliatory action for reporting workplace discrimination on the basis of migrant status.

Explicit prohibition of retaliation means that legislation both explicitly prohibits at least one of these forms of workplace discrimination on the basis of migrant status and prohibits at least some form of retaliatory action for reporting workplace discrimination.
