This book provides a critical analysis of the current body of EU law prohibiting discrimination on the grounds of sex, part-time and temporary working, racial and ethnic origin, religion and belief, disability, age and sexual orientation. Ellis begins by examining the objectives underpinning the notions of non-discrimination and equality and by setting out the essential characteristics of EU law. The book then moves on to examine key concepts including direct and indirect discrimination, harassment, positive action and mainstreaming.
