AnnotationJust before the launch in 2000 of the Community action programme to combat discrimination, the European Commission noted the need for "data to measure the extent and impact of discrimination". This analytical study targets a twofold objective The first is to develop a conceptual framework for evaluating progress in equality and anti-discriminatory efforts, and to formulate suggestions for indicators. The second is to start examining statistical data available and international, European and national levels that might contribute to evaluating progress made. The discrimination fields discussed are race and ethnic origin; age; disability; sexual orientation; and religion and convictions. Included as an annex is the text of the questionnaire sent to each member State. (RH).
