Popis:	This article investigates whether cultural models of behaviour can explain the persistently higher unemployment rate of non-whites in the UK. Such models argue that the prevalence of unemployment among non-whites may induce a greater tolerance of joblessness and poorer attitudes towards working which act to further reduce their employment chances. However, estimates from a hazard model of unemployment durations indicate that such factors play no role in explaining longer ethnic minority spells. This casts some doubt on the power of cultural models to account for the UK experience.
