[5] Office for National Statistics is a reliable source for collecting statistics. In the last 10 years, the number of women in unemployment globally has increased gradually, and in 2010 to 2014, the numbers reached a million and then decreased gradually after 2014.

I had to download the statistics and it provided me with figures from 15th November 2017

The statistics have found that between July and September of 2017, 73% of white women are employed compared to only 57.6% of women of ethnic minority background are employed. This means that there is a 1.5 difference which is 15%. This figure is too small to shock the audience, so I will most likely not be displaying this fact on the posters.

In the UK, the employment rate for people of white ethnic background is 38% higher than people of BAME background. The rate for women of white ethnic background is 15% higher.

The statistics that they receive are from surveys that they have conducted. It is estimated that more people of BAME background are unemployed compared to people of white ethnic background.
It is found that between July to September in 2017, 7.8% of people in the UK of Black, Asian and Ethnic minority background were unemployed compared to only 4.0% of White ethnic background being unemployed. Working it out, I've figured that people of white ethnic background are 38% more likely to be employed than people of the BAME background.
Between July 2016 and June 2017 1,520 people from BAME background were unemployed.

On the posters or website, I will most likely mention the fact that even the prime minister said that the amount of people that are unemployed due to their ethnic background is still apparent in our society.


 “The idea itself is not new – Charles Booth’s maps of rich and poor areas in Victorian London drew attention to hardship that was too often hidden – but this focus on how ethnicity affects people’s lives will present findings that are uncomfortable.”
