Britain's debt to immigrants

Article Abstract:

Some immigrant groups in the UK perform very well economically. African and Caribbean women, for example, earn considerably more than white women. However, other immigrant groups find it hard to make economic progress in the UK. Among people from Bangladesh and Pakistan, for example, unemployment levels are very high and household income tends to be very low. It is possible to predict that the performance of immigrant communities will tend to get better, rather than worsen. The reasons for this include the fact that any ethnic disadvantage from being regarded as different will disappear.

The boom will go bust: here's how to brace yourself

Article Abstract:

It is almost certain that there will be a significant slowdown in the world economy at some point before 2001. This will inevitably have an impact on the UK, and will present serious challenges for a government currently benefiting from a strong economy. It is unlikely that the next recession in the UK will be preceded by a sharp rise in inflation, as the long-term trend in inflation globally is downwards. The next recession will affect different areas of the economy from those which were affected during the last recession.
