"Black Africans" in Britain: integration or segregation
Peter Aspinall, Lavinia Mitton
This programme of research will use data from the 2001 Census, government surveys, NHS, and local education authorities to address the following questions: to what extent are black Africans intergrating with wider British society in terms of demographic profile, socio-economic position, patterns of residents, and civic engagement? What are the current trends and likely patterns to emerge in the next decade or two? and how can UK policy makers and practitioners address their needs?
This one-year study has been funded under the Understanding Population Trends and Proccesses programme, the aim of which is to promote the use of large-scale social science data sets.
Start date: 01/04/2008 End date: 30/09/2009
