Each individual is – in some respect – similar to many, few or no other person. Diversity deals with this individuality, with differences, otherness, and with similarities. One pragmatic framework to do so places six dimensions at the core of Diversity, the so-called core dimensions: Age, (dis-)ability, ethnicity & race, gender, religion and sexual orientation & identity. In addition, multiple issues may or may not be acknowledged by or in an organisation. Based on existing models, we have created the following categories to structure the dimensions of Diversity:
Organisation, Market & Consumption, Work & Employment and Personal Life.
