Recommendation

In 2010, the United Kingdom passed its Equality Act to prevent discrimination, but no law can make unfair treatment of women and minority groups disappear. You need to foster social change for that to happen. The Inter Ministerial Group on Equalities, a government agency, takes you through its dense but informative plan for promoting equality in Britain. While always politically neutral, getAbstract recommends this useful report to world leaders as well as anyone concerned about discrimination and equality.

Take-Aways

  • The UK government will use five precepts to improve equality: 1) providing equal treatment and opportunities, 2) developing local solutions, 3) promoting transparency, 4) innovating for tolerance, and 5) modeling equality in government. 
  • Because inequality starts at a young age, Britain plans to end child poverty by 2020.
  • The government will work with businesses to stop workplace discrimination.
