People of Indian origin are most likely to be in elite professional and managerial roles in Britain, a study based on official census figures has found.
According to a detailed analysis of the 2011 census, Indians are the most successful ethnic minority group with 15.4% found in class 1 of eight occupational groups, comprising higher managerial, administrative roles as well as professions like doctors and lawyers.They are followed by those of Chinese origin at 12.8%, The Sunday Times reported.
However, if students are excluded, the figures rise to 17.8% for Indians and 19.1% for Chinese, while men from Indian and Chinese backgrounds are almost twice as likely as their white British counterparts to be in higher managerial jobs.
By contrast, just 6.6% of all Pakistanis and 4.2% of Ban gladeshis make it into class 1.For black Africans and black Caribbeans the proportion is 7.5% and 6.2% respectively , and for those of mixed race it is 10.3%. Ethnic minorities fare particularly well in health care, with 41% of doctors coming from an ethnic minority , particularly Indian or those classed as other whites.
The study, to be officially released later this week to coincide with the launch of the Demos Integration Hub (DIH), also found almost half of Bangladeshi men worked in restaurants and a quarter of Pakistani-origin men were taxi drivers.
