In the UK, ethnic differences in income, employment, health and wellbeing are well established. Recent studies have found that these ethnic differences changed, mostly increased, during the pandemic.
This talk will focus on changes in mental health and wellbeing during the pandemic across and within ethnic groups. In particular, whether the change in mental health was higher among specific ethnic groups, and the role of individual, household and neighbourhood context in explaining these differences.
