A new book, Making Equality Count [1], exploring the linkages between
discrimination [2] and inequality in Ireland and a number of other countries
was published in November 2010. The book draws on Irish and international
research on inequality that adopts a range of different methods to address
key questions about the incidence, distribution and effects of discrimination
and inequality, as well as considering some of its antecedents. The book
originated from papers presented at a conference in Dublin in June 2010
organised by the Equality Authority [3], the Economic and Social Research
Institute (ESRI [4]), the Central Statistics Office (CSO [5]) and the Geary
Institute [6], University College Dublin. Its publication was co-funded under
PROGRESS [7] – the European Union’s Programme for Employment and Social
Solidarity.

The establishment of the Danish Board of Equal Treatment
(Ligebehandlingsnævnet [1]) in 2009 made it possible for people to lodge
complaints about all discrimination-related issues covered by EU legislation.
In addition to gender and ethnicity, the issues that people could file
complaints over were extended to include discrimination on the basis of age,
disability, sexual orientation, political views, religion, and social and
national origin.
