Description:

Looks at the barriers to employment for Pakistanis and Bangladeshis in Britain. Analyses the labour market for these ethnic minority groups in Birmingham, Bradford, Bristol, Glasgow and Tower Hamlets in London. Explores participation in education and training, economic activity rates, occupational attainment including self-​employment, the impact of geographical location, and the sectoral participation of different groups. Key findings include that Pakistanis and Bangladeshis have substantial human capital problems, women are discouraged from participating in the labour market, and Bradford and Birmingham have poorly qualified working populations.
