International Handbook on Diversity Management at Work ― Country Perspectives on Diversity and Equal Treatment

In 14 chapters, management, business, and other scholars from Europe, Africa, North America, Australia, and New Zealand examine diversity management within national contexts. They draw on research, national statistics, and other sources to detail the current state of diversity policies and practices in 14 countries, describing the aim, scope, and coverage of anti-discrimination legislation, including reporting requirements, positive or affirmative action objectives, quotas, and other legislative requirements; the social actors in anti-discrimination efforts, including political establishments, trade and labor unions, and multinationals and their influence on diversity policies and practices; the current state of discourse on diversity management and when anti-discrimination and diversity management first appear in the management literature; and the role of professional associations, including academics, in anti-discrimination and diversity management efforts. This edition incorporates updates and new perspectives, as well as new chapters on Australia, Finland, Japan, New Zealand, Nigeria, and Russia, and updated and expanded chapters on Austria, Canada, France, India, Italy, the Netherlands, South Africa, and the UK.
