wealth inequality

• 1. BAME people are more likely to live in low income households than white people
• Ethnic minorities tend to be lone parents, and have a lot of children, and be unemployed
• Even with these things taken into account there's still a huge difference between BAME people and white people in poverty
• A Business in the Community (BITC) report, Race at the Top: Revisited, published in June 2020, found that just 54,900 of the 3.9 million managers, directors and senior officials in the UK are Black
• In the private sector, only 1.5% of senior roles are filled by BAME employees, and this figure has improved by only 1% since 2014
• The number of ethnic minorities living in poverty has decreased slightly over the years, with Indian, Chinese and white ethnic minority groups to have highest income
• Individualists argue that the statistics exaggerate the problem
