Poverty and ethnicity in the UK

A summary of the findings of poverty and ethnicity research since 1991, describing differences in poverty rates and experiences by ethnic group. Poverty rates vary dramatically across the UK's ethnic groups - an issue of concern both for poverty reduction policies and for social justice. This book provides a comprehensive account of these variations and explores the reasons why they occur. Drawing on a wealth of research conducted since 1991, and with a particular focus on the most recent evidence, the report: reviews what we know about poverty and ethnicity; provides a detailed and considered insight into the factors contributing to the differing rates of poverty; outlines the policy implications of existing research; and reflects on the limitations to our knowledge and understanding of the issues.
