Abstract: Abstract Employment discrimination is around discussed as the development of the economy and promotion of the working welfare. This paper talks about employment discrimination problems by focusing on the financial industry. Two types of discrimination problems regarding gender and age are discussed in this paper. With the data from Zhilian and National Bureau of Statistics, this paper analyzes the current gender and age discrimination situation in the financial industry. By separating the male and female labor into same age groups, this paper gives that age discrimination is worsened with the effect of gender discrimination. To explain the reason for specific discrimination phenomenon in financial field, this paper combines the industrial characteristic and job requirement with the general factor of discrimination in workplace. And gender and age discrimination problems are possibly caused by physiological discrepancy cognition, inheritance of traditional culture’s dregs, and imperfections of relevant regulations. With the revelation of employment discrimination in the financial field, this paper also offers several suggestions to both employers and employees to help to alleviate the current and potential discrimination trend in the financial area.
