The term affirmative action refers to a policy aimed at increasing workplace and educational opportunities for people who are underrepresented in various areas of our society.

How does affirmative action works? Give some examples.

Affirmative action's primary goal is to diversify society's numerous facets. It is a government-backed strategy that was created to give underrepresented groups of individuals access to positions in government, the corporate sector, and academia.

These possibilities include being accepted into colleges and professional jobs, as well as having access to housing and funding.

<u>Here are few examples:</u>

  • Lyndon B. Johnson, the president, signed Executive Order 11246 in 1965. All subcontractors and government contractors had to increase the number of jobs available to minorities. Additionally, it created the Office of Federal Contract Compliance (OFCC) to carry out the order's enforcement.
  • The underutilization of minorities by federal contractors was addressed in 1970 by flexible goals and deadlines specified and allowed by the Labor Department. Women were added to the order in 1971.
