Describe four forms of affirmative action
What will be an ideal response?
1. A program may consist of policies to ensure that all potentially qualified workers know about a particular job opening. This ensures that everyone has equal information and equal access to the application process.
2. An interpretation that suggests that if two applicants have the same qualifications for a particular job, but one applicant happens to be from a disadvantaged class (usually due to race or gender), the job should be offered to the disadvantaged candidate.
3. A suggestion that the labor pool should be representative of the community of qualified applicants. This helps ensure that the proportion of minorities does not drop too low.
4. A quota, which is the most restrictive form of affirmative action, sets numerical targets companies must meet for the hiring of minorities.
