Ethnic Inequality in Redundancy in the UK, 2018-2025. Institutional Racism by the Numbers!

Описание: Between 2018 and October 2025, the UK labour market has shown apparent structural inequalities in how redundancies affect different communities.
While the Office for National Statistics (ONS) does not publish redundancy rates by ethnicity, adjacent indicators tell a consistent story.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, unemployment for minority ethnic groups rose from 6.5 % to 10.1 %, compared with 3.7 % to 4.6 % for White workers (ONS, 2021).
By 2023, one in six Black and Asian workers were in insecure jobs, compared with one in ten White workers (TUC, 2023; Work Foundation, 2024).
Pay-gap data show Black employees consistently earned less than their White counterparts between 2012 and 2022 (ONS, 2023).

These combined disparities, employment instability, sectoral exposure, and lower pay create a higher redundancy risk and slower recovery for minority groups.
The evidence reflects institutional racism: disadvantage embedded in systems rather than isolated prejudice.
Fairness requires transparency, equality impact assessments, and stronger legal and policy safeguards.
