- 3. There is some good news on education 3 Starting with education: the proportion of working-age adults with degrees has grown rapidly over the past two decades Men and women from ethnic minorities have made the most progress, now topping the charts
- 4. …there is also good news on employment 4 Employment is up substantially among men from ethnic minority backgrounds While Indian men overtook white men, employment also grew 24 and 30 per cent among Black and Pakistani/ Bangladeshi men
- 5. Job done? Not quite. 5 Despite there being overall pay growth over recent decades, significant pay gaps persist Average hourly pay among white women and black men is 2o per cent below that of white men This is particularly worrying given growth in educational attainment
- 6. Job done? Not quite. 6 Despite there being overall pay growth over recent decades, significant pay gaps persist Average hourly pay among white women and black men is 2o per cent below that of white men This is particularly worrying given growth in educational attainment
- 7. Job done? Not quite. 7 Despite there being overall pay growth over recent decades, significant pay gaps persist Average hourly pay among white women and black men is 2o per cent below that of white men This is particularly worrying given growth in educational attainment
- 8. Job done? Not quite. 8 Despite there being overall pay growth over recent decades, significant pay gaps persist Average hourly pay among white women and black men is 2o per cent below that of white men This is particularly worrying given growth in educational attainment
- 9. Some pay gaps might down to observable characteristics 9 For instance, age Overall, ethnic minority groups tend to have much younger age- profile than white men and women These age differences factor into employment rates and they can depress levels of pay among younger groups
- 10. Some pay gaps might down to observable characteristics 10 Also, occupation. A plurality of Indian and white men and women are in higher-skilled, higher-paid roles (blue) However, a large proportion of black and Pakistani/ Bangladeshi workers find themselves in mid (purple) and lower (red) paid work
- 11. Some pay gaps might down to observable characteristics 11 Also, occupation. A plurality of Indian and white men and women are in higher-skilled, higher-paid roles (blue) However, a large proportion of black and Pakistani/ Bangladeshi workers find themselves in mid (purple) and lower (red) paid work

- 13. But big pay penalties remain after we’ve put those characteristics aside 13 Even after accounting for where a region, qualifications and occupation, large penalties between white and ethnic minority men persist All things being equal, a black graduate man could expect to earn 17 per cent less an hour than a white graduate man
- 14. But big pay penalties remain after we’ve put those characteristics aside 14 Even after accounting for where a region, qualifications and occupation, large penalties between white and ethnic minority men persist All things being equal, a black graduate man could expect to earn 17 per cent less an hour than a white graduate man
- 15. They tend to be smaller among women, but stubborn over time 15 Pay penalties are smaller among women, but do still exist All things being equal a Pakistani/ Bangladeshi non- graduate could expect to be paid five per cent less an hour than white women Worryingly, for all graduates and for most groups, these penalties haven’t shifted over time
- 16. Overall, a worrying picture • There’s been significant progress on education and employment among ethnic minority groups in recent decades • Yet this hasn’t resulted in pay gaps closing • Smaller, but still big, pay penalties for ethnic minorities remain even after accounting observable differences between workers… • …which means policymakers’ focus shouldn’t be limited to the further equalisation of opportunities like education but also on disadvantage and discrimination 16
