Research from Youth Futures Foundation has found that almost half of young people from an ethnic minority background have experienced prejudice or discrimination when seeking to enter the workplace.
The study, carried out with 3,250 young people, found seven in ten (70%) who have faced discrimination have considered moving jobs – and the majority of young people don’t think that reporting discrimination will make any difference.
With almost a quarter of the UK’s population below the age of 25 now from an ethnic minority background, and 12% of young people not in employment, education, or training, the impact of widespread discrimination on young people, employers and society is significant.
Almost half (48%) of young people from an ethnic minority background have experienced discrimination or prejudice as they try to enter the world of work, new research from Youth Futures Foundation finds.
