Book excerpt: "This report aims to significantly develop the evidence base on ethnicity and child poverty. The child poverty rates observed for most ethnic minority groups are higher than the national average; the report asks whether this is due to increased levels of poverty risk factors amongst families from these groups, or whether it requires further explanation. The author also examines a range of different poverty measures and related indicators for children and families from different ethnic groups ? including income poverty, poverty persistence, material deprivation, worklessness, and area deprivation ? and uses a variety of analytical methods and data sources to build up a detailed picture of how poverty varies across and within ethnic minority groups."--Publisher website.
