Why ethnicity matters for local authority action on poverty
This Viewpoint draws together research from JRF’s Poverty & Ethnicity research programme, highlighting the implications for local authorities in the UK.

The research draws on research covering:
- Employer behaviour and workplace culture;
- Places and local labour markets;
- Caring and earning; and
- Social networks.
