Pensions protection for minority ethnic groups in Britain: Determinants, prospects and policy implications
Pensions protection for minority ethnic groups in Britain: Determinants, prospects and policy implications
According to the 2011 Census, individuals from Black and Minority Ethnic (BME) groups comprised about 14% of the total population in England and Wales, while the younger age structure of the BME population means that BME groups comprise less than 4% of the population aged 50 and over. Projections by the Runnymede Trust and the Centre for Policy on Ageing show that by 2051, there will be an estimated 3.8 million people from BME groups aged 65 and over, and 2.8 million aged 70 and over (Lievesley, 2010). Key policy challenges are associated with the ageing of the BME population and substantial differentials in their economic and social resources compared to the majority White population (Allmark et al, 2010; Steventon and Sanchez, 2008; Evandrou, 2000).

Abstract
According to the 2011 Census, individuals from Black and Minority Ethnic (BME) groups comprised about 14% of the total population in England and Wales, while the younger age structure of the BME population means that BME groups comprise less than 4% of the population aged 50 and over. Projections by the Runnymede Trust and the Centre for Policy on Ageing show that by 2051, there will be an estimated 3.8 million people from BME groups aged 65 and over, and 2.8 million aged 70 and over (Lievesley, 2010). Key policy challenges are associated with the ageing of the BME population and substantial differentials in their economic and social resources compared to the majority White population (Allmark et al, 2010; Steventon and Sanchez, 2008; Evandrou, 2000).
