中国背景下的平等、多样性和包容性研究不足。本文通过考察机构参与者在塑造当代中国平等和包容话语、政策和现实中的作用，填补了部分研究空白。特别是，它强调了国家的关键作用，以及特权社会群体的出现和维持。这是因为构建关于不平等和包容的公共话语必然是一个政治和社会进程，涉及社会政策问题。公共话语不仅反映了特定时期国家的政治理想和道德标准，而且影响着不同社会群体的既得利益，影响着他们对权力的获取和维护。本文揭示了农民工和其他社会下层群体、妇女和残疾人在工作场所的根深蒂固的弱势地位，并呼吁政策和管理干预。
Research on equality, diversity and inclusion in the Chinese context is insufficient. This paper fills part of the research gap by examining the role of the institutional actors in shaping the equality and inclusion discourse, policy and reality in contemporary China. In particular, it highlights the crucial role of the state, and the emergence and maintenance of privileged social groups. This is because the construction of public discourse on inequality and inclusion is necessarily a political and social process, with social policy implications. Public discourse not only reflects the political ideals and moral standards of the nation at a given time, but also impacts the vested interests of different social groups, and their acquisition and maintenance of power. This paper reveals the entrenched, disadvantaged positions of rural migrant workers and other lower social groups, and of women and persons of disability at workplaces, and calls for policy and management intervention.
