衡量平等很重要，但有争议和挑战性;定义、技术细节和数据可用性问题，尤其是选择适当的衡量标准，都很复杂。然而，为了满足研究人员的需要，以及帮助平等和人权委员会等机构制定政策，需要对平等进行衡量。本文讨论的问题，涉及监测平等的整个范围内的正义链（性别、族裔、残疾、宗教/信仰、年龄和性取向以及社会阶层）（长寿;人身安全;健康;教育;生活水平;生产性和有价值的活动;个人、家庭和社会生活;参与、影响和发言权;身份、表达和自尊;以及法律的安全）。论文最后提供了与全方位平等相关的10个维度中每个维度的主要指标。
Measuring equalities is important but contentious and challenging; matters of definition, technical details and data availability, not least the selection of appropriate measures, are complex. Yet the measuring of equalities is needed to address the needs of researchers as well as to aid policy development such as by the Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC). This paper discusses the issues involved in monitoring equalities across the full range of justicable strands (gender, ethnicity, disability, religion/belief, age and sexual orientation together with social class) in the 10 domains of the EHRC Equality Measurement Framework (longevity; physical security; health; education; standard of living; productive and valued activities; individual, family and social life; participation, influence and voice; identity, expression and self‐respect; and legal security). The paper concludes by offering headline indicators for each of the 10 dimensions that are relevant to the full range of equalities.
