“…Over the last two decades or so, the academic literature has emphasized substantial differentials between BME groups and the White majority in terms of economic and social resources, as well as health status (Allmark et al 2010;Becares et al 2012;Smith et al 2000;Evandrou 2000aEvandrou , 2000bSteventon and Sanchez 2009). Part of such differentials relate to patterns of labour market participation, with existing research showing that individuals from most BME groups are less likely than White British individuals to be in paid employment, and there are significant gender differences in particular groups.…”

Reflecting a relatively low‐value Basic State Pension, occupational pensions have historically been a key aspect of pension protection within Britain. Existing research shows that minority ethnic groups are less likely to benefit from such pensions and are more likely to face poverty in later life, as a result of the interaction of their labour market participation and pension membership patterns. However, the lack of adequate data on ethnic minorities has so far prevented the direct comparison of different ethnic groups, as well as their comparison to the White British group. Using data from the UK Household Longitudinal Study, this article explores patterns of employment and the odds ratios of membership in an employer's pension scheme among working‐age individuals from minority ethnic groups and the White British population, taking into account factors not used by previous research, such as one's migration history and sector of employment (public/private). The analysis provides new empirical evidence confirming that ethnicity remains a strong determinant of one's pension protection prospects through being in paid work, being an employee and working for an employer who offers a pension scheme. However, once an individual is working for an employer offering a pension scheme, the effect of ethnicity on that person's odds of being a member of that scheme reduces, except among Pakistani and Bangladeshi individuals for whom the differentials remain. The article also provides evidence on the pension protection of Polish individuals, a relatively ‘new’ minority group in the UK.

“…For example, women from low-income groups show significantly lower rates of breastfeeding initiation and duration [23-26]. Little analysis has explored existing differences in intention by specific ethnic groups, even though belonging to a minority ethnic group has proven to be closely related to socioeconomic deprivation and poor health [27,28]. This study was carried out in Bradford in the North of England, a city in which the two largest ethnic groups are of White British and Pakistani origin.…”

BackgroundUsing a multi-methods approach we aimed to explore the relative prediction of demographic, socioeconomic and modifiable predictors from the Theory of Planned behaviour (TPB) in explaining feeding intentions amongst a multi-ethnic sample.Methods476 women completed a questionnaire at 28 weeks gestation. They were grouped into breastfeeding (N = 258), mixed-feeding (N = 50), bottle-feeding (N = 88) intenders, or a no clear intention (N = 88). Multinomial adjusted regressions explored the influence of modifiable TPB factors, along with ethnicity and socioeconomic status in predicting group membership. Free-text responses allowed women to elaborate on reasons behind their intention.ResultsTPB factors were significant predictors of feeding intention. Women with high intention to breastfeed were less likely to report high attitudes in any other feeding alternative. Bottle-feeding intenders reported poorer self-efficacy regarding breastfeeding compared to breastfeeding intenders (prevalence rate ratio, PRR = 0.10). Mixed and bottle-feeding intenders reported greater self-efficacy for mixed-feeding (PRR = 1.80, 5.50 respectively). Descriptive norms for mixed (PRR = 13.77) and bottle-feeding (PRR = 10.68) were predictive of mixed-feeding intention. Reasons for breastfeeding intentions related to health considerations, whilst bottle-feeding reasons related to convenience. Mixed-feeding intenders reported both breast and bottle-related factors.ConclusionsUnderstanding modifiable predictors related to feeding intentions like TPB factors can help professionals target appropriate interventions to encourage breastfeeding.

“…A number of analyses have investigated associations of neighborhood deprivation, poverty or SES with self-reported health, finding that higher neighborhood deprivation is associated with worse self-rated health (van Jaarsveld et al, 2007, Wen et al, 2003, Verhaeghe and Tampubolon, 2012, Poortinga et al, 2008, Becares et al, 2012, Stafford et al, 2004). A growing body of work has also investigated associations of specific neighborhood features (such as facilities and services, green space, safety, and social connections) with self-rated health measures (de Vries et al, 2003, Maas et al, 2006, Collins et al, 2009, Cummins et al, 2005, Weden et al, 2008, Bond et al, 2012, Gidlow et al, 2010).…”

Associations between neighborhood characteristics and self-rated health: A cross-sectional investigation in the Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis (MESA) cohort

Quantifying the effects of specific neighborhood features on self-reported health is important to understanding the global health impact of neighborhood context. We investigated associations of neighborhood poverty, sociability and walkability with self-rated physical and mental health in the Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis (MESA). In separate models, each neighborhood variable was associated with physical health but associations with sociability and walkability were stronger than those for poverty. Only walkability remained significant after adjusting for the other neighborhood variables. There was no evidence that self-rated mental health as assessed by the SF12 was associated with neighborhood poverty, walkability or sociability. This study provides information on how neighborhood context is associated with global health in diverse midlife and older persons.
