Ethnic minority children "still poorer"

Around two in five ethnic minority children live in poverty - twice the rate among white people.

Research from the Joseph Rowntree Foundation also shows that people from minority ethnic groups who have higher educational achievements do not receive the same rewards as those from white British backgrounds with similar qualifications.

Children experience even more poverty than adults in their communities. Over half of Bangladeshi, Pakistani and Black African children in the UK are growing up in poverty.
