Presenting the issues of discrimination in employment in a multifaced manner, this book examines the standards on anti-discrimination law for employment at international and EU levels, and those deriving from national jurisdictions.

Identifying emerging trends in anti-discrimination employment law, this book offers a comparative, problem-solving approach and an in-depth analysis of new developments in both anti-discrimination statutory law and case law. Addressing employment law with a focus on anti-discrimination law and human rights law, this book will be essential reading for students, academics and practitioners working in the field of labour and employment law, anti-discrimination law and human rights law, and offers an international comparative overview of the most up-to-date issues relating to discrimination.
