Employment is a daily means for people to make a living. Paying attention to employment means paying attention to people's livelihood. Employment discrimination exists in colleges and universities to a certain extent in recruitment. Discrimination is the differential treatment of disadvantaged groups by the dominant social groups, which is a serious violation of the spirit of equality. Employment discrimination in colleges and universities not only violates Graduates' right to equality and labor, but also aggravates the disadvantage of those groups which are in a inferior position in politics, economy, society and culture. The occupational segregation phenomenon formed in history inevitably widens the gap between different social groups, and further aggravates the contradictions and conflicts among various groups. At present, it has caused unpredictable and serious consequences in China's employment market. From the perspective of modern legal society, prohibiting employment discrimination is the concrete embodiment of the "equality principle" in the social field, and it is the inevitable requirement for realizing social fairness and justice and safeguarding human rights. Regulating employment discrimination is not only the guarantee of citizens' equal employment rights, but also the way to realize citizens' basic human rights.
