Employer discrimination is holding back second-generation African, Caribbean and Asian people in the jobs market even though they tend to be more highly educated, according to a report by the Institute for Fiscal Studies.
People of that background whose parents emigrated to Britain were far more likely to get a university degree than their white British peers, but they faced much higher unemployment rates overall. However, the report also showed that once in employment, they tended to be more upwardly mobile and were more likely to be in professional or managerial jobs.
âThe experiences of people from ethnic minorities who have grown up in the UK are different and complex. We should celebrate their remarkable success in education, but ask hard questions about why this does not translate into equal success in the world of work,â said Lucinda Platt, a professor at the London School of Economics and an author of the report.
