There are mainly four types of discriminations in workplace in HK: sex discrimination, family status discrimination, race discrimination, as well as disability discrimination. This paper illustrates the fact about current work place discriminations in HK, the reasons of those discriminations, as well as relevant laws and policies applicable to reduce workplace discriminations. Based on the findings above, suggestions are made to reduce workplace discrimination in terms of various ways such as modifying laws and regulations, providing more educations to employers and employees, strengthening the work of Equal Opportunities Commission of HK and so on.
