本文研究了英国失业和收入的种族动态。根据前六波“理解社会”的数据，英国家庭纵向研究（2009-2014年），分析表明，少数民族成员，特别是非洲黑人、加勒比黑人、巴基斯坦和孟加拉国少数民族，在一生中面临的失业风险要高得多，收入水平也比英国白色人低得多。少数民族不仅更有可能面临失业，而且在再就业和工资方面，以往的失业经历给他们带来的创伤也比多数民族更持久。即使先前失业率水平相似，少数族裔也比他们的白色英国同龄人更容易受到延迟重新就业和工资处罚的影响。失业和低工资的生命历程轨迹，加上失业疤痕，表明在英国累积的种族劣势。
This paper investigates the ethnic dynamics of unemployment and earnings in the UK. Drawing on data from the first six waves of Understanding Society, the UK Household Longitudinal Study (2009-2014), the analysis shows that ethnic minority members, particularly black African, black Caribbean, Pakistani and Bangladeshi minorities, face much higher risks of unemployment and have much lower levels of earnings than do their white British counterparts over the life course. Ethnic minorities are not only more likely to face unemployment, previous experiences of unemployment also carry more enduring scars for them than for the majority group in terms of reemployment and pay. Even with similar levels of prior unemployment, ethnic minorities are more susceptible to delayed re-entry and wage penalties than are their white British peers. The life-course trajectories in unemployment and lower pay, coupled with unemployment scarring, suggest cumulative ethnic disadvantages in the UK.
