| Popis: | Studies on minority ethnic groups and health often use conventional measures of socioeconomic position such as car ownership and housing tenure. We know that minority ethnic groups are over-represented in lower socioeconomic groups and that unemployment rates, patterns of employment and working conditions are more unfavourable for some minority ethnic groups than the majority ethnic group. We have shown elsewhere that financial factors are important predictors of health alongside other indicators of socioeconomic position but are there differences in income type and benefits received by ethnic group? This article reports selected findings from a broader study investigating the relationships between ethnicity, socioeconomic position and health. It aims to examine differences in income type by ethnic group and to examine overall household income by ethnic group. |
