Abstract

Longer-term progress made in reducing socioeconomic disparities between white and Black and minority ethnic people in the UK has largely stalled in the UK since the 2007-08 global financial crisis. Changes to the tax-benefit system have been highly regressive, but also racialised with Black and minority ethnic people, especially BAME women, losing the most. This briefing for the Runnymede Trust outlines racial inequalities and discrimination that structure a disproportionate exposure to and risk of (deep) poverty amongst minority ethnic people today. We focus principally on the impact of the social security system and 'Energy Price Guarantee', and consider what lessons this could offer to more effectively protect the livelihoods of Black and minority ethnic people amidst rising inflation and a stalling economy.
