One in 10 children in Britain now live in a mixed race family as the ethnic make-up of the country has taken a dramatic shift in the last decade, a new report discloses. Young people are six times more likely to be mixed race than adults, as the categories of black and White become harder to define. The study, commissioned by the Equality and Human Rights Commission, said some ethnic groups may get swallowed up by the integrating of race.
It found that the number of people who defined themselves as purely Caribbean was most likely to decline with nearly half of all black Caribbean men in mixed race relationships.
The report, entitled Ethnicity and Family: Relationships Within and Between Ethnic Groups, was written by Lucinda Platt, from the University of Essex.
