In the 3 years to March 2021, black households were most likely out of all ethnic groups to have a weekly income of under £600.

75% of households from the Bangladeshi ethnic group were in the 2 lowest income quintiles (after housing costs were deducted) between April 2021 and March 2024.

In 2011, 87.2 percent of the total population of the United Kingdom were white British. A positive net migration in recent years combined with the resultant international relationships following the wide-reaching former British Empire has contributed to an increasingly diverse population.

Varied ethnic backgrounds

Black British citizens, with African and/or African-Caribbean ancestry, are the largest ethnic minority population, at three percent of the total population. Indian Britons are one of the largest overseas communities of the Indian diaspora and make up 2.3 percent of the total UK population. Pakistani British citizens, who make up almost two percent of the UK population, have one of the highest levels of home ownership in Britain.

Racism in the United Kingdom

Though it has decreased in comparison to the previous century, the UK has seen an increase in racial prejudice during the first decade and a half of this century. Racism and discrimination continues to be part of daily life for Britain’s ethnic minorities, especially in terms of work, housing, and health issues. Moreover, the number of hate crimes motivated by race reported since 2012 has increased, and in 2017/18, there were 3,368 recorded offenses of racially or religiously aggravated assault with injury, almost a thousand more than in 2013/14.

BackgroundA significantly higher proportion of UK Black ethnic adults live with overweight or obesity, compared to their White British counterparts. The role of obesity in excess infection rates and mortality from COVID-19 has increased the need to understand if weight management interventions are appropriate and effective for Black ethnic groups. There is a paucity of existing research on weight management services in Black populations, and whether anticipated or experienced institutional and interpersonal racism in the healthcare and more widely affects engagement in these services. Understanding the lived experience of target populations and views of service providers delivering programmes is essential for timely service improvement.MethodsA qualitative study using semi-structured interviews was conducted in June–October 2021 among 18 Black African and Black Caribbean men and women interested in losing weight and 10 weight management service providers.ResultsThe results highlighted a positive view of life in the United Kingdom (UK), whether born in the UK or born abroad, but one which was marred by racism. Weight gain was attributed by participants to unhealthy behaviours and the environment, with improving appearance and preventing ill health key motivators for weight loss. Participants relied on self-help to address their overweight, with the role of primary care in weight management contested as a source of support. Anticipated or previously experienced racism in the health care system and more widely, accounted for some of the lack of engagement with services. Participants and service providers agreed on the lack of relevance of existing services to Black populations, including limited culturally tailored resources. Community based, ethnically matched, and flexibly delivered weight management services were suggested as ideal, and could form the basis of a set of recommendations for research and practice.ConclusionCultural tailoring of existing services and new programmes, and cultural competency training are needed. These actions are required within systemic changes, such as interventions to address discrimination. Our qualitative insights form the basis for advancing further work and research to improve existing services to address the weight-related inequality faced by UK Black ethnic groups.

According to the 2021 Census, 81.7% of the population of England and Wales was white, 9.3% Asian, 4.0% black, 2.9% mixed and 2.1% from other ethnic groups.

About this dataset

BackgroundSocio-economic position (SEP) and ethnicity influence type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) risk in adults. However, the influence of SEP on emerging T2DM risks in different ethnic groups and the contribution of SEP to ethnic differences in T2DM risk in young people have been little studied. We examined the relationships between SEP and T2DM risk factors in UK children of South Asian, black African-Caribbean and white European origin, using the official UK National Statistics Socio-economic Classification (NS-SEC) and assessed the extent to which NS-SEC explained ethnic differences in T2DM risk factors. Methods and FindingsCross-sectional school-based study of 4,804 UK children aged 9–10 years, including anthropometry and fasting blood analytes (response rates 70%, 68% and 58% for schools, individuals and blood measurements). Assessment of SEP was based on parental occupation defined using NS-SEC and ethnicity on parental self-report. Associations between NS-SEC and adiposity, insulin resistance (IR) and triglyceride differed between ethnic groups. In white Europeans, lower NS-SEC status was related to higher ponderal index (PI), fat mass index, IR and triglyceride (increases per NS-SEC decrement [95%CI] were 1.71% [0.75, 2.68], 4.32% [1.24, 7.48], 5.69% [2.01, 9.51] and 3.17% [0.96, 5.42], respectively). In black African-Caribbeans, lower NS-SEC was associated with lower PI (−1.12%; [−2.01, −0.21]), IR and triglyceride, while in South Asians there were no consistent associations between NS-SEC and T2DM risk factors. Adjustment for NS-SEC did not appear to explain ethnic differences in T2DM risk factors, which were particularly marked in high NS-SEC groups. ConclusionsSEP is associated with T2DM risk factors in children but patterns of association differ by ethnic groups. Consequently, ethnic differences (which tend to be largest in affluent socio-economic groups) are not explained by NS-SEC. This suggests that strategies aimed at reducing social inequalities in T2DM risk are unlikely to reduce emerging ethnic differences in T2DM risk.

Abstract copyright UK Data Service and data collection copyright owner. This study is available via the UK Data Service QualiBank, an online tool for browsing, searching and citing the content of selected qualitative data collections held at the UK Data Service. Life-history interviews with black immigrants born before 1911 focusing on family life, community and work experience in England and Wales before 1918. The interview schedule covered first impressions of Britain; domestic routine, including the roles of husbands, wives and children; meals; the upbringing of children; emotional relationships and values in the family; leisure; religion; politics; race discrimination; culture; school; courtship and marriage; the wider family; relationships with neighbours and perception of the community structure. The collection comprises 17 interviews on 32 open-reel tapes. There are transcriptions of ten of these interviews. Main Topics: Immigrants; black people; family life; community life; occupational life; education; leisure; religion; politics; marriage; children; childhood; culture; racial discrimination; race relations.

This research examined understandings and experiences of diversity in the PR profession, given the increasingly diverse societies in which practitioners work and the consequences for their role as communicators. The professional experiences of 50 Black and Minority Ethnicity (BME) PR practitioners were explored and their lived experience of being ‘different’ were compared with professional discourses about diversity. 34 face-to-face interviews were conducted (33 transcribed and deposited) along with 7 focus groups. The researcher also employed 8 diarists to write about their day-to-day experiences being a BME in the PR industry. 11 practitioner profiles from PR Week were also analysed. 10 PR/Communications companies' websites were also used for analysis in this dataset, however not all copyright access could be achieved. Documentation by CIPR and PRCA describing the PR industry were also analysed. Diversity in the public relations (PR) profession is generally regarded as desirable because it enables practitioners and organisations to understand and communicate effectively with their increasingly varied audiences. Recognising the potential contribution of diverse individuals also ensures the profession can access the best possible talent from all available sources, rather than drawing from a limited pool. However, the level of diversity in public relations in the UK is very low and little is known about the professional experiences of diverse PR practitioners. This research fills this knowledge gap by exploring the experiences of BME PR practitioners through interviews, focus groups and diaries. In particular, the focus is on the manner in which 'difference' is constructed through their work experiences and the professional environment. The factors that contribute to those constructions and the effects they have on the practitioners' power, knowledge and identity will be explored. The analysis will compare these findings with notions of diversity and difference that are presented by the profession and explore the implications of commonalities and difference between the two for increasing diversity in public relations in the UK. Finally, the research will develop new avenues for continuing research in this area. 34 face-to-face interviews were used along with 7 group interviews. Websites from PR/Communications companies were analysed along with documentation describing the industry by PRCA and CIPR. Diaries were also recorded by 8 practitioners and assessed along with 11 practitioner profiles given in PR Week. Volunteer sampling was used.

In the 10 years to July 2024, the percentage of further education students who were from Asian, Black, Mixed and Other ethnic backgrounds went up from 19.7% to 27.9%.
