Abstract
A substantial employment gap between Ethnic Minorities and the overall workingage population in Great Britain has been observable for several decades (Cabinet Office, 2003). There have been a number of studies over the years that have attempted to uncover how much of this gap is due to differences in observable characteristics and how much remains unexplained. This unexplained ‘residual’ difference between ethnic groups is usually taken as evidence of discrimination. Clearly, access to Jobcentre Plus services may be one way of overcoming any disadvantage that Ethnic Minorities may experience in the labour market and the extent to which Jobcentre Plus delivers ethnic parity in labour market outcomes from its services is of clear policy interest. This exhaustive study estimates the extent of ethnic parity in employment and benefit outcomes for 2,658 different Ethnic Minority subgroups accessing a range of Jobcentre Plus services and programmes in 2003.
