Abstract

This article uses Labour Force Survey data to examine the changing labour market experience of ethnic groups in Britain during the 1980s. The article places these changes in the context of the changing structure of the British economy, and of the regions within Britain. It contrasts the labour market experience of ethnic minorities within six broad regions. The article finds that the established pattern of ethnic group advantage and disadvantage was largely maintained during the 1980s. Unemployment and economic inactivity amongst ethnic minorities grew as the increase in the numbers employed failed to keep pace with the growing numbers in the economically active age groups. Pakistanis, Bangladeshis and West Indians fared particularly badly, while the Chinese and Indians experienced more favourable trends.
