China should draft a law to guard job-hunters against varied forms of employment discrimination, said a farmer-turned deputy to the imminent session of the Tenth National People's Congress (NPC) on Friday.

Wang Yuan'an, from Tai'an City in east China's Shandong Province, showed his great concerns about the unreasonable bias against women and people with less preferable education background on China's job market and called it "a big problem related to social justice".

Wang, who had been a migrant rural worker, is now president of a school providing training in computer skills. He cited a few examples of people facing groundless difficulties in hunting for jobs due to their looks, height and age barriers set by employers during an interview with Xinhua.

In central China's Hunan Province, 25-year-old Fan Siping failed with his application to local civil service as he is 0.005 meters shorter than the required height.

"A law on fair employment is in an urgent need in China," said Wang.

A harmonious society should give adequate space to talents competing on an equal footing and developing to their capability to the full, and waste of any human resources does not facilitate economic and social development, he said. So he would very much like to submit a proposal in this regard to the NPC session slated to convene on Saturday.
