Dans le domaine social où s'inscrit l'américanisme «affirmative action program», l'équivalent français le plus proche semble bien être «programme de promotion sociale». Si l'on se reporte, dans le Petit Robert, à l'article PROMOTION, on trouve, au sujet de «promotion sociale», les indications suivantes : «Émancipation des classes défavorisées, par leur accession à un niveau de vie supérieur; ensemble des moyens mis en œuvre à cette fin.» C'est donc à juste titre que la note marginale du paragraphe 15(2) de la Charte canadienne des droits et libertés comporte cet équivalent : [...] «Programmes de promotion sociale» [...] Il convient par ailleurs, au vu de ce qui précède, d'exclure, au sens d'«affirmative action program», l'expression «programme d'action positive». Elle a, en effet, une signification trop large pour qualifier le programme en question. 4, record 2, French, - programme%20de%20promotion%20sociale
