Description: The "substantive" conception of equality of opportunity, in contrast to the "formal" conception, focuses on fairness before a competition begins by trying to help disadvantaged persons have a better chance at the upcoming competition. Examples include "affirmative action" programs, educational assistance and other ways to help applicants disadvantaged by circumstances beyond their control be more "equal" at the starting point.
