Is there at least some explicit legislative prohibition of workplace discrimination based on disability?

Map reflects policies in place as of May 2018. Updates of these data are currently in progress.

The term ‘disability’ includes general references to disabilities (‘handicap’, ‘impaired’, or ‘special needs’), or specific mentions of mental, intellectual, sensory, or physical disabilities. For the purposes of this variable, the term “disability” captures all of these definitions.

No means that country legislation does not explicitly prohibit disability-based workplace discrimination broadly, nor specifically against discrimination in hiring, pay, promotions and/or demotions, terminations, nor harassment.

Yes means that country legislation does explicitly prohibit at least one of these forms of disability-based workplace discrimination.
