About the Project

In-work poverty has become a highly topical and policy relevant issue, particularly since the financial crises. Recent evidence has shown ethnic minorities are more likely to enter and persist in poverty (Kanabar et al., 2018).

This PhD project will use advanced quantitative methods and make extensive use of the ESRC funded United Kingdom Household Longitudinal Study (UKHLS) to explore a related question, which is to understand the extent of in-work poverty among the five largest ethnic minority groups (compared to the white majority), and how this relates to in work progression and occupational mobility.

Candidates should have a strong foundation in microeconometrics or longitudinal quantitative methods (+3) or a strong background in statistics and mathematics in addition to an interest in learning such methods (1+3). Candidates with Masters level degrees in relevant subject areas are encouraged to get in contact.

Anticipated start date: 30 September 2019
