In the United States affirmative action is a set of laws, policies, guidelines and administrative practices intended to end and correct the effects of a specific form of discrimination that include government-mandated, government-sanctioned and voluntary private programs.
The programs tend to focus on employment, granting special consideration to historically excluded groups, specifically racial minorities or women. The incentive toward affirmative action is readdressing the disadvantages associated with past and present discrimination.
Affirmative action was the outcome of the 1960’s Civil Rights Movement, intended to provide equal opportunities for members of minority groups and women in education and employment.
In 1961, President Kennedy was the first to coin the term “affirmative action” in an Executive Order that directed government contractors to take “affirmative action to ensure that applicants are employed, and that employees are treated during employment, without regard to their race, creed, color, or national origin.” The Executive Order also established the President’s Committee on Equal Employment Opportunity, now known as the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC).
