CReAM Discussion Paper No 10/06Ethnic Minority Immigrants and their Children in BritainChristian Dustmann† and Nikolaos Theodoropoulos‡† Department of Economics and Centre for Research andAnalysis of Migration(CReAM), University College London.‡ Centre for Research and Analysis of Migration(CReAM),University College London.Non-Technical AbstractAccording to the 2001 UK Census ethnic minority groups account for 4.6 million or7.9 percent of the total UK population. The 2001 British Labour Force Surveyindicates that the descendants of Britain’s ethnic minority immigrants form animportant part of the British population (2.8 percent) and of the labour force (2.1percent). In this paper, we use data from the British Labour Force Survey over theperiod 1979-2005 to investigate educational attainment and economic behaviour ofethnic minority immigrants and their children in Britain. We compare different ethnicminority groups born in Britain to their parent’s generation and to equivalent groupsof white native born individuals. Intergenerational comparisons suggest that Britishborn ethnic minorities are on average more educated than their parents as wellmore educated than their white native born peers. Despite their strong educationalachievements, we find that ethnic minority immigrants and their British born childrenexhibit lower employment probabilities than their white native born peers. However,significant differences exist across immigrant/ethnic groups and genders. Britishborn ethnic minorities appear to have slightly higher wages than their white nativeborn peers. But if British born ethnic minorities were to face the white nativeregional distribution and were attributed white native characteristics, their wageswould be considerably lower. The substantial employment gap between British bornethnic minorities and white natives cannot be explained by observable differences.We suggest some possible explanations for these gaps.Centre for Research and Analysis of MigrationDepartment of Economics, Drayton House, 30 Gordon Street, London WC1H 0AXTelephone Number: +44 (0)20 7679 5888Facsimile Number: +44 (0)20 7916 2775
