Pew Research Center conducted this study to better understand how adults in the United States think about diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts in the workplace. This analysis is based on survey responses from 4,744 U.S. adults who are working part-time or full-time, are not self-employed, have only one job or have multiple jobs but consider one their primary job, and whose company or organization has 10 or more people. The data was collected as part of a larger survey of workers conducted Feb. 6-12, 2023. Everyone who took part is a member of Pew Research Centers American Trends Panel (ATP), an online survey panel that is recruited through national, random sampling of residential addresses. This way nearly all U.S. adults have a chance of selection. The survey is weighted to be representative of the U.S. adult population by gender, race, ethnicity, partisan affiliation, education, and other categories.
Instruction for the assignment:
Read pages 1 to 6. Then, pick one topic that draws your attention. Some key findings from the survey (p. 5-6) help you to choose one topic.
- The value of DEI efforts at work (pp.7-9)
- The importance of a diverse workforce (pp. 9-12)
- DEI measures and their impact (pp. 13-16)
- How gender, race, and ethnicity impact success in the workplace (pp. 17-21)
Then, read the details of the topic, summarize the analysis and results, and discuss why it is an interesting result and important topic for you.
It should generally take about three pages (around 800 to 1000 words, typed, double-spaced, 12 points in WORD file, please) to answer questions adequately.
