ABSTRACT: The Minority Mobility Project (MMP) is concerned
with personnel policies and practices which impart the
utilization and upward mobility of minorities and women. The
various policy and analytical research
questions raised in the course of a project involving
quantitative and qualitative analyses of primary data on
personnel practices collected at two large companies. One of
implemented an affirmative action plan,
and the other had very low utilization and a long history of
women in other than clerical
positions. The report describes in detail the approach and
the analyses used to answer the policy and research
questions, relates the findings, and discusses their
practical and policy implications. A method for
establishing, a priori, the degree of compliance of a firm
or industry was developed by simple statistical measurements
for the computation of population,
occupation, and comparative parity measures are presented.
