| Title | In the Light of Substantive Equality: Analyzing Temporary Balancing Measures in the Context of Slovakia |
| Summary | Temporary balancing measures (TBM) stemming from the concept of substantive equality is considered to be an enabling legitimate tool to ensure genuine equality. In many countries, it is a standard tool for creating opportunities for disadvantaged groups to participate equally in the labor market and the education system. By implementing them properly, Slovakia could possibly start solving Roma issues from a broad perspective. However, by analyzing relevant documents it was revealed that although the legislation opened up the possibility for the provision of TBM, there is still a certain ambiguity surrounded by TBM. It therefore lacks support from the elite and general populace. In addition, the current legislation lacks relevant guidelines and strategies to undertake further steps. Key words: temporary balancing measures (TBM), substantive equality, Roma, Slovakia |
