Human rights and the discrimination at work

For this assessment item, you are to research and report on the discrimination at work and the human rights in one country of your choice. The country to choose from is:

Australia
America
China
India
The issue is NOT to make judgements about human rights or discrimination in one country compared to another (e.g. this is not an exercise of comparing India or China with Australia). You are to seek reports on how (or if) migrants in your country of choice are treated differently to the domestic workers, and answer the following specific questions:

1. What are the ethical issues involved?

2. Are migrants treated differently to domestic workers, and why?

3. Are relevant anti-discrimination laws in your country of choice effective? Why?

4. Based on what you have found, what are negative consequences for countries and companies that discriminate against people because of their age, gender, race/colour, disability, social status, religion, etc?
