Key findings
This publication is a reference guide for people who create, collect or analyse data related to discrimination in Luxembourg. Thus, it presents a very important tool and starting point for any research on equality issues.
Furthermore this analysis of the existing tools and actors implicated in the monitoring of discrimination in Luxembourg reveals the lack of a specific and explicit system for equality measurements. The existing indicators are mostly incomplete, too general, not accessible and/or not covering the scopes of the anti-discrimination law. The authors of the handbook recommend the elaboration of a national plan for short-term data gathering on discrimination, to facilitate the access to the results and to include the residence area, nationality and language as specific factors .
Methodology (Qualitative/Quantitative and exact type used, questionnaires etc)
Based on different publications of or sponsored by the European Commission (2007, 2008) which excluded Luxembourg as a case study until then. Statistical data is ordered in 5 groups which correspond to the 5 motives of discrimination defined by the European directives 2000/43/CE et 2000/78/CE : 1. Race or ethnical origin; 2. Religion or convictions; 3. Handicap; 4. Age; 5. Sexual orientation.
Statistical data sources are divided in 4 different groups as defined by the European handbook for data related to equality (European Commission, 2007) :1. Official sources; 2. Data related to complaints; 3. Research; 4. Diversity monitoring.
The indicators and the statistical sources are adapted to the reality of Luxembourg.
