[shadow=red,left,300]Minority ethnic groups break through the class barrier – with exceptions[/shadow]
Younger generations from many of Britain's minority ethnic groups are succeeding in breaking through the class barrier. Educational achievements have helped children of working-class parents in the Caribbean, African, Indian and Chinese communities to obtain managerial and professional jobs at a faster rate than their white counterparts, according to research for the Joseph Rowntree Foundation.
But the study, based on surveys tracing children's progress over 30 years, finds that young people from the Pakistani community are an exception. Although their parents are heavily concentrated in the working class, they show less upward mobility than children from white manual workers' families. Bangladeshis are similarly disadvantaged but unlike young Pakistanis, this can be more readily explained by education and other characteristics of their backgrounds.
Lucinda Platt, a Lecturer in the Sociology Department at the University of Essex, analysed data from the Office for National Statistics Longitudinal Study on 140,000 children who grew up between the 1960s and the 1980s. Her research showed that family background and class had an important influence on later employment: children whose parents were in the managerial or professional classes were more likely to end up in higher-status jobs, even after account was taken of differences in educational achievement. Coming from a more advantaged background also tended to reduce their chances of unemployment.
An expansion in professional and managerial occupations over the past 30 years has created more 'room at the top', giving rise to an increase in upward mobility. Even so, a comparison between children whose parents were born overseas and white children of parents born in the UK showed young people from many minority ethnic groups were making disproportionate progress.
After controlling the data for family background differences, Caribbean, Black African, Indian and Chinese young people were more likely to have found professional or managerial jobs than their white, non-migrant counterparts. This was consistent with evidence that migrants often experienced downward mobility on entering Britain and that they hold strong aspirations for their children – which may have been part of their original reason for migrating in search of a new life.
Upward mobility among children from minority ethnic groups was due to their educational achievements. This suggested that migrant parents often encouraged and motivated their children to gain good qualifications.
The general picture did not apply to children of Pakistani migrants. Their class disadvantage, relative to young people from other ethnic groups, could not be explained by differences in family background, or differences in their education. However, these factors did help to explain the class disadvantage found among children of Bangladeshi migrants.
Looking at differences between religious groups, the study found that second-generation Jews and Hindus tended to be more upwardly mobile than their Christian counterparts after controlling for background factors. Muslims and Sikhs were less likely to have moved into higher paid employment than their migrant parents. These differences could not simply be explained by ethnic origin.
Lucinda Platt said: "This study shows that social class and privilege have retained their importance in the past thirty years in assisting young people to access the educational opportunities that help them into higher status jobs. Britain is still a long way from being a 'meritocracy' where social class no longer plays a part in determining children's chances of well-paid careers.
"There is good news to the extent that a disproportionate number of the young people who are upwardly mobile are the children of parents who came to this country as migrants. But their welcome progress is no cause for complacency – especially when it appears to be so much harder for young people from Pakistani or Bangladeshi families to get ahead. We need to do much more to understand why this is happening and the extent to which factors such as racial discrimination are involved."

[shadow=red,left,300]Immigrants get better jobs than whites - says report.[/shadow]
16th November 2005
The Joseph Rowntree Foundation, a charitable organisation which has, as its main responsibility, the study of immigrants and immigration into Britain, this week published a shocking report which reveals that the children of immigrants get better jobs, better careers and earn more money than indigenous whites.
For the past 40 years the whole Race Relations Industry was based on the assumption that all immigrants suffer from racism in Britain and that this racism has damaged their career chances compared to whites from a similar socio-economic background. This latest report reveals that the entire ideological basis of the race relations industry is a lie being used to unlawfully discriminate racially against indigenous whites - and that the race relations industry has created a climate of anti-white racism which has resulted in indigenous whites being under-represented in professional jobs in Britain.
White impoverishment
As extraordinary as it might seem, it appears that successive Tory/Labour governments have been following racist policies against indigenous whites, the very same white folk who vote for this dinosaur duo at every election. These policies have led to a fall in the social mobility, the earnings capacity of indigenous whites and their ability to progress into professional careers. This report proves that immigration has not just damaged the indigenous working people of all “classes”, but that white working class children are actually dropping further down the socio-economic ladder and that more whites are becoming impoverished as a direct result of immigration as more immigrants take over their jobs.
Whilst governments have been imposing unlawful 'Positive Discrimination' schemes in order to promote immigrants, indigenous working class whites have been racially discriminated against. Therefore this 'State Racism' which allows positive discrimination against whites via the Race Relations Acts is in fact illegal as the basis of such positive discrimination policies, that immigrants suffer discrimination at work, is both false and racist against the indigenous whites of Britain.
New voter base
This report reveals that the New Labour governments long term political plan of building up an ethnic / Muslim/ Immigrant ' New Ethnic Middle Class Voting Base ' whilst abandoning the White working class voters that once supported the Labour Party has worked. Whilst immigrants are now getting richer , indigenous whites are getting poorer. New Labour has allowed in millions of immigrants as they know that most immigrants will always vote labour, and whilst voting in working class white communities has fallen in immigrant areas the Ethnic Vote will always be for Labour.
