Perceptions of the Impact of Positive Action in EU and non-EU Countries

Yes / Around the world, inequalities exist around boundaries of race, social class, gender, disability,
religious beliefs and sexual orientation, often resulting from past and current discriminatory
practices. Governments have taken certain measures, including enacting policies such as positive action,
to remedy such discrimination. This paper provides a comparative analysis of perceptions of the impact

of positive action in seven EU and three non-EU countries. The study adopted participatory methods
including consensus workshops, interviews and policy analysis to obtain data from designers of positive
action. Findings are discussed, conclusions drawn and wide-ranging recommendations are made at
the EC, individual countries and organisational levels.
