European Handbook On Equality Data     This Handbook seeks to provide decision makers and other stakeholders with the means by which to assess and improve the national compilation of equality data. It deals with the grounds of discrimination covered by these directives, namely racial and ethnic origin, religion and belief, age, disability and sexual orientation. The right to equal treatment is a universal human right and a fundamental value of the European Union. Equal treatment is about securing the rights and opportunities of all individuals and it is key ingredient in achieving inclusive labour markets and social cohesion. Furthermore, pursuing equal opportunity policies also makes business sense, as these policies can help people to achieve their full potential and to match the right people to the right jobs.
