Migration and Social Mobility: The Life Chances of Britain's Minority Ethnic Communities

More about the book

Examining the intersection of class and ethnicity, this report investigates intergenerational social mobility among children from various ethnic backgrounds in England and Wales during the 1960s to 1980s. By analyzing parental class characteristics from 1971 and 1981 alongside children's outcomes in 2001, it sheds light on the often-overlooked patterns of mobility within Britain's minority ethnic groups. Additionally, it explores the role of religion in enhancing the understanding of social mobility among these communities, making a significant contribution to policies aimed at reducing inequality.
