Equity, Diversity and Inclusion In Hong Kong

Hong Kong is a cosmopolitan city with more than 300,000 foreign labours, so equity, diversity and inclusion (EDI) is a hot and challenging topic. More and more corporations, organizations and governments promote EDI as their core value. The main propelling force behind that is justice - to eliminate the systemic discrimination that identifiable groups, such as women, seniors and visible minorities, have experienced by increasing their representation in employment, education and other opportunities. Moreover, an equitable, diverse, and inclusive environment can promote those organizations’ images and reputations and enable their employees, contractors, and business partners to reach their full potential and contribute their best by feeling respected, treated fairly, and working in comfortable environments. This book analyzes how diversity and inclusion should be done to achieve equity as the final goal. It suggests organizations and governments use a quantity approach in diversity with examples.
