| Annotation | In a wide-ranging review of the literature, Lucinda Platt of the University of Essex summarises the findings of poverty and ethnicity research since 1991. Of the thousands of studies screened for potential inclusion, around 350 were selected for review in her final report (same title), published by the Policy Press on behalf of the Joseph Rowntree Foundation (JRF). Most of the studies identified used the Census categories for distinguishing ethnic groups; there was little distinct analysis of white groups. These findings summarise the main points of the research, which prioritised an income measure of poverty as being the most transparent, and allowing consideration of different components of income. Deprivation was seen as stemming from lack of income, at least in the long term. However, evidence of material deprivation measures was also included and reviewed to the extent that it was available.
