Studies have shown that, in the UK, ethnic minorities like Caribbeans, and especially the second generation, are well on their way to closing the earnings gap. Well educated second generation Indians and Caribbeans working the same jobs as British nationals are actually earning about just as much, and thus have, by far, overtaken their parents in only a few years time. One problem still remains, the fact that those ethnic minorities have still not closed the employment gap, with Pakistanis and Bangladeshis having over triple the amount of unemployment compared to white British nationals. One could say that there’s still a lot of work to be done.
