The implementation of equal opportunity and anti-discrimination policies as well as the international commitments of the Slovak Republic in the field of human rights poses an urgent question to national leaders and institutions: how to measure the magnitude of various forms of inequality, disadvantage and discrimination? Only on the basis of reliable data can quality measures and policies be drafted or adjusted in an effective way. Statistical data may be one of the key analytical and argumentative tools for implementation of equal opportunity policies and for convergence in living conditions for marginalized groups of the population. The projec tclosely examines: - concept documents, legislation and discussion at the supranational level – mainly at the levels of the Council of Europe and the European Commission;
- legislation, institutions and practices in the area of ethnicity-related data in Slovakia; and
- legislation, institutions and practices regarding ethnicity data in selected EU countries. A comparison within these three contexts – European, Slovak and selected national states – leads to certain conclusions and recommendations.
