- Guy Palmer (2012) - ethnic minorities are more likely to be materially deprived
- almost 1/2 of all ethnic minority kids like in low income households
- ethnic minorities are almost twice as likely to be unemployed
- ethnic minority households are around 3x as likely to be homeless
- almost half of Bangladeshi and Pakistani workers earned under £7 per hour
- Employment
- ethnic minority workers are more likely to be engaged in shift work
- Bangladeshi and Pakistani women are more likely than others to be engaged in low-paid home-working
- Reasons why some ethnic minorities may be at greater risk of materially deprived
- many live in economically depressed areas with high unemployment and low wage rates
- cultural factors e.g tradition of Purdah in some Muslim households - prevents women from working outside of the home
- lack of language skills and foreign qualifications not being recognised by UK employers
- asylum seekers may not be allowed to take work
- racism
- Guy Palmer (2012) - ethnic minorities are more likely to be materially deprived
