Earlier factsheets
The new series of factfiles will replace the CRE's previous factsheets, which were based on the 1991 census.
These older publications are still available on this website, but will be phased out as new factfiles are published.

The new series of CRE factfiles
How many labour migrants come to the UK each year? Is the number of complaints of racial discrimination rising or falling? Does someone's ethnicity have an effect on their chances of having a job?
These are the kind of questions which the CRE's new series of research factfiles sets out to answer.
Each will examine a particular theme, such as employment or demography, using in-depth statistical information compiled from a variety of sources.
We hope these factfiles will be useful for employers, policymakers, researchers, human resources professionals, teachers and students, as well anyone else with an interest in equality issues in the UK.
The first factfile in the series is 'Employment and ethnicity', which was published in April 2006. If you would like to be kept informed of new factsheets as and when they are published, click on the link below.
FACTFILE 2: Ethnic minorities in Great Britain
Published March 2007. 12pp
Between the 1981 and 2001 censuses, the non-White population of Great Britain more than doubled, from 2.1 million to 4.6 million.
In this factfile, we look at the current ethnic make-up of Britain, and how the overall population can be broken down according to:
- Country of birth
- Age
- Sex
- Languages spoken
- Religion or belief
- Areas in which people live
The factfile draws on a variety of sources, including the Census 2001 data and the annual Labour Force Survey.
