We recognised the need for understanding the impact of discrimination at work as well as rising cost of living for young people from an ethnic minority background.
According to our independent survey of 2,296 ethnic minority young people, seven in 10 (71%) have experienced some form of workplace discrimination. Almost half (46%) of young people from ethnic minority backgrounds have experienced discrimination when dealing with customers or clients at work, while two in five have experienced it when applying for a job (37%) and/or at a job interview (36%). With the cost of living crisis taking hold, two in five (40%) say their mental health has suffered.
