metadata.name: dc.description.abstract
metadata.value: The article contains an analysis of approaches to the definition of employment discrimination
  from the point of view of compliance of Russian legislation and case-law with international labor standards. The prohibition of discrimination includes ensuring equal opportunities for
  employees, which sometimes implies the provision of additional guarantees for certain categories
  of employees (affirmative action). The problem with such affirmative action norms
  established by law is that they themselves can be discriminatory. The courts’ qualification of
  discrimination is inevitably judgmental and is based both on the values of society and on the
  subjective opinion of the judge. In this regard, it is important to understand the boundaries
  between legal differentiation and illegal discrimination according to international labor standards.
  The article deals with certain aspects of the Russian affirmative action norms in employment
  which subject to debates regarding their discriminative nature. The norms concerning
  parental leaves granted only to male military personnel, the list of professions with harmful
  and dangerous working conditions prohibited for women, the restriction of dismissal of pregnant
  women at the initiative of the employer (in comparison with the norms on protection
  from dismissal of trade union activists and parents of disabled children), the ban on dismissal
  of elderly employees, as well as the possibility of concluding fixed-term employment contracts
  with them are analyzed and evaluated in the article. The article draws conclusions about the
  need to harmonize the approaches of the Russian legislation and case-law on these issues with
  international labor standards developed within the framework of the International Labour
  Organisation, the United Nations and the Council of Europe.
