Is there at least some explicit legislative prohibition of workplace discrimination based on foreign national origin?

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

The term “foreign national origin” includes references to ‘ancestry’, ‘citizenship or origin of parents’, ‘country or place of birth’, ‘homeland’, ‘national descent’, or ‘national origin’. For the purposes of this variable, the term “foreign national origin” captures all of these definitions.

No means that country legislation does not explicitly prohibit workplace discrimination on the basis of foreign national origin 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 workplace discrimination on the basis of foreign national origin.
