Yet the measuring of equalities is needed to address the needs of researchers as well as to aid policy development such as by the Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC). This paper discusses the issues involved in monitoring equalities across the full range of justicable strands (gender, ethnicity, disability, religion/belief, age and sexual orientation together with social class) in the 10 domains of the EHRC Equality Measurement Framework (longevity; physical security; health; education; standard of living; productive and valued activities; individual, family and social life; participation, influence and voice; identity, expression and self‐respect; and legal security).
