The UK poverty rate is twice as high for Black and Minority Ethnic (BME) groups as for white groups. This round up finds that there are a number of drivers for the high BME poverty rate:

• higher unemployment
• higher rates of economic inactivity
• higher likelihood of lower pay
• geographic location
• migration status, and
• educational attainment

It also highlights key solutions for employers, local authorities, education support services and city regions to take on board.
