If the demographics are changing, shouldn we just let market forces correct the past imbalances?
It’s true that there are more members of designated groups in the workforce than ever before, but systemic barriers still exist. Census data and other labour force studies show that the pace of change is so slow that it would be 80-100 years or more before some groups achieved equity. We can’t afford to waste the skill and abilities of whole groups of people, while the market fixes itself.
