Summary:
Ethnic minority groups in Britain are more likely than the majority group to work for less than the living wage. This publication examines why this is the case. It uses two large-scale datasets to analyse what types of job ethnic minority groups tend to do. It then calculates the minority–majority wage gaps associated with particular occupations.
