内容説明・目次
内容説明
There is a significant gap - currently 14.2 percentage points - between the employment rates of the ethnic minority and general populations. This gap costs the economy some GBP 8.6 billion annually. During the last ten years there has been a slow but steady reduction of 2.8 percentage points in the gap. The Department for Work and Pensions (the Department) is responsible for helping people into employment, largely through a range of services provided by Jobcentre Plus offices across the country.The Department has a Public Service Agreement target to reduce significantly the ethnic minority employment gap over the three years to spring 2008. The Department is on course to meet this target. There have been a number of projects and programmes specifically targeted at ethnic minorities - ethnic minority outreach, ethnic minority flexible fund, specialist employment advisers, fair cities, partners outreach for ethnic minorities - as well as those aimed at the wider disadvantaged community, including the deprived areas fund and the city strategy.The National Audit Office has not assessed the strategy in purely value-for-money terms as there are wider benefits and social justice associated with success in this area.
The Department has made progress but the National Audit Office believes greater continuity would have achieved more. A recent move away from a direct focus on ethnic minorities towards wider disadvantaged groups carries the risk that ethnic minorities will not get the help that they need to gain employment.
