Racism and Ethnic Inequality in a Time of Crisis

More than 14,000 people took part in the Evidence for Equality National Survey between February and October 2021. They came from 21 ethnic backgrounds and all parts of the country. The survey claims to be the most comprehensive account of racial inequality in Britain for more than 25 years.

The research was carried out by academics from the universities of St Andrews, Manchester and King’s College London, and published in a book called Racism and Ethnic Inequality in a Time of Crisis. The book compares the experiences of ethnic and religious minority groups and White British people in work and finances, housing and communities, health and wellbeing, policing and politics, racism and discrimination in the UK. Using unrivalled data in terms of population and topic coverage and complete with bespoke graphics, contributors present new evidence of ethnic inequalities and racism, opening them up to debate as crucial social concerns.
