| Annotation | According to the 2001 Census, there are some 6.7 million minority ethnic people living in the UK (11.8% of the total population). The relatively young age structure of minority ethnic groups means that they are the fastest ageing groups within the population. The number of minority ethnic older people in the UK is also set to increase quite rapidly, as those who migrated to the UK in the 1960s and 1970s reach retirement age. This digest focuses on specific themes: health and social care; housing; and income security, employment, poverty and pensions. It also identifies four cross-cutting issues relevant to these themes: discrimination and racism; information, isolation and access; financial inequality; and consultation and engagement. (RH). |
