Which act prohibits discrimination against people with disabilities in various aspects of life including employment?

The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) is the correct answer because it specifically addresses discrimination against individuals with disabilities in multiple areas of public life, including employment, transportation, public accommodations, and telecommunications. Enacted in 1990, the ADA ensures that people with disabilities have the same rights and opportunities as everyone else. Its employment section prohibits discrimination in hiring, promotions, and other employment practices, requiring employers to provide reasonable accommodations for employees with disabilities.

In contrast, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act focuses on protecting individuals aged 40 and older from discrimination based on age, while the Equal Employment Opportunity Act encompasses a broader spectrum of discrimination, not limited to disabilities. The Workers' Compensation Act addresses workplace injuries and does not relate to discrimination based on disabilities.
