Abstract

This report seeks to measure the experience of discrimination in Ireland and how this varies across social groups. The study is based on individuals’ own reports of discrimination in the labour market and while accessing goods or services.5 Discrimination is understood here as a situation in which individuals believe they are treated differently due to their membership of specific groups – that is, because of who they are, for example: young or old, male or female, with or without a disability. Discrimination is thus the lived experience of unequal treatment ‘on the ground’, as reported by the individuals who experience it.
