摘要本文介绍了2001年人口普查中英国穆斯林人口的新数据。它使用按宗教分列的种族交叉表来预测穆斯林人口从1951年的21 000人增长到2001年的160万人。它审查了人口的社会、经济、人口和地理特征。虽然穆斯林经常被视为一个同质的群体，但内部存在相当大的差异，因此人口作为一个整体的特征并不适用于内部的所有群体。2001年人口普查显示，三分之二的英国穆斯林是巴基斯坦人、印度人和孟加拉人，但三分之一来自欧洲、非洲、北非、中东和其他亚洲地区。然而，穆斯林的性别角色成为社会经济脆弱性的一个关键区别因素。总的来说，穆斯林人口年轻，增长迅速;其社会经济状况不佳，其特点是妇女在正规劳动力市场的参与率极低，而且高度集中在多重贫困地区。
Abstract The article presents new data for the Muslim population of Britain from the 2001 Census. It uses the cross tabulations of ethnicity by religion to back-project the growth of the Muslim population from 21,000 in 1951 to 1.6 millions in 2001. It examines the social, economic, demographic and geographic characteristics of the population. Although Muslims are often represented as a homogenous group, there are considerable internal differences, so that the characteristics of the population as a whole do not apply to all groups within. The 2001 Census shows that two-thirds of British Muslims are ethnically Pakistani, Indian and Bangladeshi, but one-third comes from diverse European, African, North African, Middle Eastern and other Asian sources. Nevertheless, Muslim gender roles emerge as a critical differentiator of socio-economic vulnerability. Taken as a whole, the Muslim population is young and rapidly growing; its socio-economic profile is depressed, marked by the exceptionally low participation rate of women in the formal labour market, and by high concentration in areas of multiple deprivation.
