Abstract

The research on employment discrimination problems faced by ex-offenders in China is scarce. Due to this situation, this article explores the necessity of solving the stigma faced by ex-offender employment by using subjective evaluation questionnaire. The questionnaire collects ex-offenders’ needs for equal employment and views on the System of Elimination of Criminal record. The results of the questionnaire show that 61% of people do not have re-employment problems caused by criminal records. More than 90% of people believe that the System of Elimination of Criminal record will play a positive role in equal employment for former offenders. Although this research cannot provide specific measures for China to solve the stigma faced by ex-offenders in employment, it can provide a general idea. In the long run, continuing to study this issue will help alleviate the employment problem of ex-offenders.
