Affirmative action that pursues a 50/50 male/female balance in all jobs is in conflict with merit and can discriminate against men.

This paper by Mrs Babette Francis, BSc(Hons), and Mrs Roslyn Phillips, BSc, DipEd, explores the facts - gained from scientific research - and the results are startling.
