Mixed race kids: happier than we might think

16 July 2018

Study shows no evidence of mixed race children doing less well emotionally and socially than their peers.

New research from ICLS casts doubt on a long held belief that mixed race and mixed ethnicity children do less well emotionally and socially than their peers. In a study of 5/6 year-olds in the US and the UK, James Nazroo and Amanda Sacker found no evidence of poorer socioemotional wellbeing for mixed race/ethnicity children. 

Listen to a podcast interview with James Nazroo about the research on the ICLS Child of our Time blog.
