Does legislation explicitly prohibit retaliation for reporting workplace discrimination based on social class?

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

The term “social class” encompasses a diversity of terminology used across countries, and includes references to ‘caste’, ‘social background’, ‘economic standing’, ‘economic status’, ‘social condition’, ‘social origin’, ‘socioeconomic status’, ‘disadvantaged’, ‘property status, ‘education’, and others. For the purposes of this variable, the term “social class” captures all of these definitions

No explicit protection from workplace discrimination based on social class means that legislation does not explicitly prohibit social class-based workplace discrimination broadly, nor specifically against discrimination in hiring, pay, promotions and/or demotions, terminations, nor harassment. This does not mean that legislation denies this guarantee.

No explicit protection from retaliatory action or dismissal means that legislation does explicitly prohibit at least one of these forms of workplace discrimination on the basis of social class. However, legislation does not pair protections with an explicit prohibition of retaliatory action or dismissal for reporting workplace discrimination on the basis of social class to the responsible body.

Explicit protection from retaliation means that legislation both explicitly prohibits at least one of these forms of workplace discrimination on the basis of social class and prohibits retaliatory action or dismissal for reporting workplace discrimination to the responsible body.
