Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report reviews recent literature on how local English authorities have dealt with issues of equality and diversity, regarding the experiences of ethnic minorities, women and young people. It focuses on three main themes relating to representation and participation in local government; employment by local authorities; and general service provision. The conclusions drawn include that local authorities have been trailblazers in the field of equalities and there are many examples of good and best practice to be found in this sector. However, good practice in recruitment has not always been followed through to ensure equal opportunities in promotion and development, and there is evidence of some problems of sexism and racism. The public sector case for equality and diversity is similar to that for the business case, but has added issues of equality of access and representation.

Book excerpt: This report examines how local authorities in England are dealing with the issues of equality and diversity, with a focus on three core areas of: representation, participation and leadership; structures, committee organisation and staff; and service procurement, delivery and impact. Findings include that awareness of these matters and the practices used to promote them vary across English local government, usually linked to the presence of visible ethnic minority communities, especially in rural areas. Some aspects of diversity were perceived as being less contentious and easier to address than others, for example providing access to buildings for physically disabled people. However, the research also found examples of innovative and good practice.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With women in the UK construction industry constituting just thirteen per cent of the workforce and black and Asian workers numbering less that two per cent, despite representing more than six per cent of the working population, diversity is a problem that the construction industry needs to tackle directly. In this title, diversity management is presented as an opportunity for the construction industry. Work is presented from several different countries and regions, in North America, Australia and Europe to provide a comprehensive picture of this complex and often sensitive issue. Going beyond the traditional topics of gender and racial discrimination contributions encompass a wide range of diversity issues facing the construction industry, including sexual orientation, disability and the work-life balance. Essential reading for construction managers and a valuable resource for post-graduate researchers, this key title provides not only a thorough exposition of contemporary research but also supplies the practical diagnostic tools, and techniques to successfully manage diversity in construction and the information to adhere to the law.

Download or read book Diversity in Local Political Practice written by Karen Schönwälder and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-05-13 with total page 125 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In what ways do local authorities respond to the increasing socio-cultural heterogeneity of urban populations? While other studies have often focused on policy declarations, the eight chapters in this book provide rich evidence on the content and implementation of local policies. Furthermore, several chapters offer theoretical insights into the factors driving or hindering policies that acknowledge socio-cultural heterogeneity and ensure more equality and inclusive public services. The general focus of the book is on cities in France and Germany, that is, two major immigration countries in Europe - countries in which local authorities have a relatively strong position within the state structure. The contributions analyze how local actors use their powers to ensure more equal public employment, adapt cultural offers and recreational facilities to the demands of a diverse population, and/or to fight discrimination. Further chapters investigate who takes part in formulating policies and seek to explain why cities take different decisions about strategies and practices. As a whole, the book contributes to the comparative study of societal diversity and local politics in France and Germany, and will be of interest to academics, researchers, and advanced students of Sociology, Public Policy, Law, and Political Science. This book was originally published as a special issue of Ethnic and Racial Studies.

Download or read book Gender Equality in Public Services written by Hazel Conley and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-11-13 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The provision of state funded and democratically accountable care services represents one of the most potentially transformative advances in gendered social relations and equality for women by ‘defamilizing’ care and providing paid work. But the cost of providing these services, which women have access to them and how they should be provided are always at the forefront of debate, especially during economic crises. Socially funded and publicly accountable care services are therefore a key site of feminist activity, but also the frontline for spending cuts and 'reform' during times of austerity. Gender Equality in Public Services analyses how gender equality work in British public services is changing in response to factors including: equality legislation; the erosion of local democracy, privatisation of public services and new forms of feminist activism and leadership. It also assesses the challenges and opportunities for promoting women’s equality in producing and using public services. Impacting upon developed and developing economies, the arguments in this challenging book explore the potential of equality and feminist activism and leadership for radical and transformational change. It will appeal to advanced students, researchers and practitioners interested in social policy, feminist organization theory, equal opportunities and gender mainstreaming practice.

Download or read book Equality Diversity and Opportunity Management written by Tony Morden and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-05-23 with total page 366 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Equality, Diversity and Opportunity Management presents a comprehensive analysis of the processes of governance, leadership, policy and strategy formulation, decision-making, practical and financial management, and real-world implementation of the Equality, Diversity, Opportunity, and Discrimination (or anti-Discrimination) Agenda. The leadership, cost, and management of the Agenda for Equality, Diversity, Opportunity, and Discrimination (or anti-Discrimination) is discussed in three mandatory areas: ¢ Employment and the Workplace ¢ Service Provision and customer service ¢ Neighbourhood and Community Management The necessary choice of these three key areas of application reflects a typical focus of government policy, legislation, and case law for the UK, Europe, North America, Australia, New Zealand, and in many other countries that implement active Human Rights Agendas. You will find the book strongly orientated towards issues of corporate governance, personal and vicarious responsibility, leadership, cost management, implementation, and delivery. It deals directly, professionally, and in a non-opinionated manner with challenging (and sometimes unpopular or unwanted) issues of equality and inequality, diversity, a lack of opportunity or social mobility, and the widespread incidence of discrimination. The work suggests practical and realistic means to deal with such issues, whether at the level of corporate governance, leadership, policy and strategy, the incurring of unnecessary cost, or at the level of operational and departmental management procedure and process. Equality, Diversity and Opportunity Management is written at the same time from scholarly, objective, applied, proportionate, ’hands-on’, and practitioner based perspectives.
