occupational mobility within the ethnic group show historical disadvantage are or are not. The
replicated towards the current education system and the polices which is associated with labour
market release various conflict and implication for target versus more general policies. There is
no any detailed analysis which explain about the form where and how this ethnic economic gap
is open across the UK. It is started from the second generation ethnic minority of children which
tend to grow up in the poverty and with the poor family, predominantly reflect the immigrant’s
parents which create disadvantage in the labour market. The second generation ethnic minorities
tend to do better while taking the aspect of educational attainment which is help to expect the
given disadvantage with their form of origin. At every stage, the important difference between

because the ethnic people are born brought to UK, which more likely than those from the white
background have disadvantage in childhood (Stevenson and et. al., 2017). As per this, the
childhood disadvantage is associated with poorer education results. While taking the contrast of
example, the second generation Indian, Bangladeshi have origin of 20 percentage point with
British peers. Ethnic minorities which perform well education which have demerit family origin
