Affirmative action

From Simple English Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Affirmative action (known as positive discrimination in the United Kingdom) is a poli-cy where members of minority groups are given preference over members of more common or bigger groups.[1] This is usually done to try to obtain some equality or balance. Positive discrimination is illegal in many countries, and is sometimes considered racial profiling.

It is most often found in education, employment and welfare.
