The law prohibits discrimination in employment based on gender (1=yes; 0=no)

The indicator measures whether the law generally prevents or penalizes gender-based discrimination in employment. Laws that mandate equal treatment or equality between women and men in employment are also counted for this question. It is not considered whether the laws only prohibit discrimination in one aspect of employment, such as pay or dismissal.
