Assessing Equal Opportunities Policies

Abstract

A 1984 survey revealed that 60 per cent of organisations in the UK operate equal opportunities policies. What is the significance of this in practice? Statistics continue to show inequalities between various categories of workers – men and women, black and white, able‐bodied and disabled. The article looks at some broader questions about overall policy approach, and includes an investigation into unequal opportunities and the solutions offered, in relation to the Equal Opportunities Code.
