European Handbook on Equality Data

The Handbook discusses why and what kind of equality data should be gathered and how equality data should be compiled and it formulates recommendations to the EU Member States in this regard. It deals with the grounds of discrimination covered by the Racial Equality Directive (EU Directive 2000/43/EC) and Employment Equality Directive (Directive 2000/78/EC): racial and ethnic origin, religion and belief, age, disability and sexual orientation. The Handbook was written in the framework of the Making Equality a Reality with Adequate Data (MERA) project led by the Finnish Ministry of Labour. The project was supported by the European Community Action Programme to Combat Discrimination (2001-2006).
