Abstract
This article is based on a large-scale European Commission project on international perspectives
on positive action measures. The paper presents an analysis of the perceptions of positive
action held by respondents from all the countries participating in an international survey, focussing
specifically upon differences across equality grounds, sector and organisation type. This paper will
also provide examples of positive action being applied in European and non-European countries that
participated in the study. The study adopted extensive literate and online survey to obtain data from
designers of positive action. Findings are discussed, conclusions drawn and wide-ranging recommendations
are made at the European Commission, individual countries and organisational levels.
