就业排斥还是就业歧视——大学毕业生就业制度障碍分析

本文对就业歧视和就业排斥这两个概念进行了辨析,提出判断是否存在就业排斥的基本标准是由于制度等原因导致个人不能从事适合自己的工作,而判断是否就业歧视的标准则是用人单位是否在自身经济利益受损的情况下仍然拒绝录用至少相同条件的求职者。根据这样的标准,结合对毕业生和用人单位的深度个案调查,笔者对当前我国大学毕业生求职过程中所遭遇的障碍进行了分析,提出大学毕业生所遭遇的主要是就业排斥,而非就业歧视。相应地,消除这些障碍主要应该从制度变革入手,并具体提出了笔者的若干政策建议。

高校毕业生就业歧视的法律规制——兼论《反就业歧视法》的立法必要性

高校毕业生就业歧视现象的产生原因包括毕业生自身的原因、用人单位的原因和我国立法管制的缺位。我国现阶段有关就业歧视规制的立法缺陷主要表现在立法规制的不足、行政执法的不足和司法规制的不足三个方面。高校毕业生就业歧视现象违背了法律的公平正义原则、法律面前人人平等的核心价值理念。通过立法手段对高校毕业生就业歧视现象进行法律规制,是维护高等教育的可持续发展,维护高校毕业生的就业权、提高大学生就业率,提升国民生活质量的需要。应尽快制定《反就业歧视法》,并将反就业歧视纳入高校教育和社会教育体系中。
