ABSTRACT
This chapter lays the conceptual foundations for thinking through D&I targets. It defines what D&I targets are and describes the most common types of D&I targets. It explains how and why to distinguish between (a) D&I targets, D&I data collection, monitoring and reporting and quotas; (a) diversity targets and inclusion targets and (c) internal and transorganisational D&I targets. The chapter considers the diversity characteristics that D&I targets might be set for and concludes by discussing how intersectionality can be factored into D&I target setting.
