'From a General Principle of Equality to the Prevailing Non-Discriminatory Labor Laws'



The terms equality, equal treatment and non-discrimination are omnipresent. This volume contains a historical description of the development of the principle of equality. A focus is laid on the comparison of the legal frameworks in both, Italy and Germany. National legislation and legal practice are examined by the mean of legal comparison. The definition of the term discrimination and the specific impacts on aging employees with fixed term contracts form an integral part of the analysis.
