Publisher's Synopsis
Ethnicity has been defined as the social group to which a person belongs and with which he or she either identifies or is identified by others as a result of a combination of cultural and other factors such as language, diet, religion, ancestry, and physical characteristics traditionally associated with race. The first question about ethnicity was included in the UK census in 1991. The 2001 UK Census classified ethnicity into six categories: white, black, Asian, mixed, Chinese, and other. These categories served as the foundation for all National Statistics ethnicity statistics until the 2011 Census results were released. A number of academics have pointed out that the ethnicity classification used in the census and other official statistics in the UK since 1991 involves confusion between the concepts of ethnicity and race.
According to David I. Kertzer and Dominique Arel, this is the case in many censuses, and the definition of ethnicity should first be clarified. A user consultation conducted for the purpose of planning the 2011 census revealed that some participants thought the use of color (White and Black) to define ethnicity was confusing or unacceptable.
The United Kingdom is an ethnically diverse society. White British are the largest ethnic group in the United Kingdom, followed by Asian British. In the United Kingdom, ethnicity is formally recorded at the national level via a census. The 2011 United Kingdom census revealed a lower proportion of White British people in the United Kingdom than the previous 2001 United Kingdom census. Factors contributing to the growth of minority populations are diverse in nature, including varying birth rates and immigration.
