Affirmative action refers to a hiring or admissions strategy that offers traditionally disadvantaged groups particular treatment in order to reduce the current impacts of past discrimination.

Affirmative action is a set of policies, programs, and practices that give minorities and women limited preferences in job hiring, admission to higher education institutions, the awarding of government contracts, and other social benefits. It was first implemented by the government as a response to the negative effects of long-standing discrimination against such groups.

Age, gender, ethnic origin, and race are the traditional factors for affirmative action. President Lyndon Johnson's administration (1963–1969) launched affirmative action in an effort to increase possibilities for African Americans as civil rights laws eliminated the justifications for discrimination.
