| Annotation | In 2006 and again in 2008, the European Union surveyed large numbers of people in each of the EU Member States regarding discrimination and inequality in Europe. The findings from the initial Eurobarometer survey in 2006 provided insight into the perceptions, attitudes, knowledge and awareness of discrimination and inequality in the EU. The most recent findings track how these perceptions and opinions have changed in the intervening year, which this article outlines. While the survey notes evidence of efforts to combat discrimination, it is too soon for the effects of implementing two anti-discrimination EU Council Directives to be discerned. Meanwhile, AGE - the European Older People's Platform has been working with AARP through the Anti-Discrimination Expert Group. (RH). |
