2 2 Focus on child poverty Scope National coverage (Great Britain / UK) Ethnic minority children Wider than immigrant children: not all are the children of immigrants but majority are and most have recent immigrant background Narrower than immigrant children: focus on specific groups, measured in surveys as ethnic categories Specific (larger, and coherent) groups only NB: main UK survey used for measurement of poverty has ethnic but not country of birth information. group

5 5 Background and Context Child poverty a general concern across European nations In UK specific child policy targets Extensive research on child poverty in UK and internationally Recognition not just of the significance of poverty but of persistent or long-term poverty for children s contemporary and later life outcomes However, little on ethnicity and child poverty: Analysis of ethnic minority disadvantage does not tend ot focus on poverty Analysis of child poverty typically not ethnically differentiated

6 6 But ethnicity matters 1. Ethnic differences in child poverty rates can be very large 2. If we are concerned about welfare, then poverty matters 3. Understanding ethnic differences in child poverty is informative about future trajectories of groups as well as current welfare 4. Differences across different groups can potentially refine, challenge or inform existing accounts of causal processes, impacts of poverty, or effectiveness of interventions 5. Understanding of the differences in dynamics of poverty can be especially pertinent in refining long-term policy agendas

7 7 Overview of paper How much child poverty is there in the UK? How does this vary across ethnic groups? Can this variation be understood in terms of acknowledged risk factors? How do poverty transitions of young children vary between ethnic groups? Can these be understood in terms of differences in risk factors? What are the key triggers for poverty entries and exits? Some conclusions

8 Data for measuring 8 (and monitoring) child poverty Family Resources Survey (FRS) and derived data set, Households Below Average Income (HBAI) Annual, cross-sectional survey, of c. 28,000 households, covering 32,000 benefit units ( families ) and around detailed Information on income sources and amounts of all household members. Also information on housing costs. And other demographic and supplementary information, including ethnic group of all individuals. HBAI calculates equivalent household income (net income adjusted for household size using modified OECD), and weights adjusted for response and lack of representation of top incomes. From this, poverty measure derived

9 9 Poverty Equivalent household income allocated to each member of household. Low income threshold: 60% of median equivalent income of all individuals Hence those poor are those with equivalent household incomes below this Before Housing Costs and After Housing Costs measures. Here BHC used

14 Decomposing poverty gaps Divides the poverty gap between two groups into that accounted for by differences in characteristics and an unexplained residual. The contribution of each characteristic to the gap is calculated by replacing the distribution in minority group with that in the reference group. The residual can be attributed to different chances of poverty associated with a given characteristic (differences in coefficients), holding other characteristics constant, or to unobservable differences between the groups. The explanatory variables were those associated with higher poverty risks, namely: family type, family and household size; disability within the household; work status of the household. Plus age of child; housing tenure; and region. Acknowledgement: Using Fairlie s approach for decomposition of binary outcomes, implemented using stata program fairlie developed by Ben Jann

17 And the unexplained? Differences in returns to characteristics possible for region, housing tenure and work status. Among those in work, possibilities are: differences in earnings; differences in full-time workers in multiple adult households; among those not in work, differences in benefits (take-up and type); among both, possibilities are differences in savings and other sources of income.

18 18 The Millennium Cohort Study Cohort of c. 18,000 children sampled from all live births born between September 2000 and December 2001 from across UK, who will be followed over time Data collection (so far): when child was around 9 months; around three years old ; around 5 years old, and around 7 years old. Sample selected from a random sample of electoral wards, disproportionately stratified to ensure adequate representation of all four UK countries, deprived areas and areas with high concentrations of families from Black and South Asian minority ethnic groups Main respondents are predominantly mothers, but partners are also interviewed at each wave Detailed information on child health and development; parental pre- and post-natal behaviour; relationships within the family. It also has some information on income and some deprivation measures Country of birth not collected initially but subsequently added for those living in England (majority of sample). All cohort children UK born by definition. Almost all (over 90%) minority group mothers non-uk born immigrants.

30 30 Conclusions (1) Children from minority groups face higher risks of poverty than majority; but there is great diversity between groups There is great variation across groups in factors that place them at higher risk of poverty But variation in poverty rates across children by ethnic groups cannot be fully explained by such variation in risk factors. Family circumstances and household work status are nevertheless strongly implicated in the poverty rates of some groups. Differences in poverty transitions are marked for Pakistani and Bangladeshi minority group children. And these also cannot be fully explained by family characteristics Events associated with entries and exits are much more likely to be demographic for minority ethnic groups Moves into work are less strongly associated with poverty exit among minority groups, but moves of the mother out of work are more strongly associated with poverty entry among minorities compared to the majority

31 31 Conclusions 2 Policy appears to have had some impact on those most disadvantaged, but large differentials remain Addressing differences in workless households on its own will not altogether remove ethnic differences in poverty Ethnic groups are defined by both composition and opportunity structures and these need further disentangling Children from minority groups will form a higher proportion of the future population. Therefore there are practical policy as well as equity reasons to address their differential poverty. This is relevant for European countries beyond the UK. Data (and will) are lacking adequate fully to monitor the poverty of subgroups of children and thence the futures of the second and subsequent generations.
