In Brazil and the United States, 'managed diversity' emerged as a corporate strategy in the 1990s-2000s, reflecting growing awareness of workplace inequality. In Brazil, this concept intersects with affirmative action policies (cotas) and represents efforts to address historical inequalities based on race and gender. In the USA, it's closely tied to civil rights legislation and EEO compliance. The term reflects a shift from passive non-discrimination to active inclusion strategies in organizational culture.
