| Annotation | Research by Ken Clark of the University of Manchester and Stephen Drinkwater of the University of Surrey examines the labour market performance of Britain's ethnic minorities. The emphasis is on the diversity of experience and the dynamic change in the relative positions of ethnic groups between 1991 and 2001. The study uses microdata from the 1991 and 2001 Census, supplemented by Labour Force Survey (LFS) data, focusing on the following ethnic groups: white, Black Caribbean, Black African, Indian, Pakistani, Bangladeshi and Chinese. While some groups have improved their labour market position relative to white people, substantial disadvantage remains, both in access to jobs and in earnings once in employment. These findings outline the results on employment, self-employment, and occupational attainment and earnings. The researchers' full report (same title) is published by the Policy Press on behalf of the Joseph Rowntree Foundation (JRF). (RH). |
