Using Tables 1 and 2, what can you say about the ethnicity of the population in England and Wales in 2011 and in 2011 and about the composition of the ethnic population in England and Wales in 2011
In table 1 that shows Ethnic groups in England and Wales, 2001 and 2011 in percentages, the total sum of all subgroups is 19.5%, therefore does not account for all of the population. The total figure for 2001 was 12.6%, with an increase of 6.9% in 2011, this across all subgroups would be an average increase of 0.4%. or an average 1.38% increase across Ethnic groups. With the exception of the Subgroup Irish that has decreased by 0.3% all other Subgroups have increased or stayed the same. Despite the decrease of the Subgroup Irish, the Ethnic group White, with which this Subgroup is from, has seen the largest increase of 2.1% which is well above average, largely due to the Subgroup Other White, that has increased by 1.8%. This is nearly 1% higher than that of the next Subgroup, Other Asian. Although it should be noted that ‘comparability issues exist between these ethnic groups for the 2001 and 2011 census.’
There have been 2 new Subgroups added in 2011, Arab under the Ethnic group Black/African/Caribbean/Black British and Gypsy or Irish traveller under the Ethnic group White.
The only Subgroup to remain unchanged between 2001 and 2011 is Caribbean under the Ethnic group Black/African/Caribbean/Black British. The smallest increase in an Ethnic Group is Other ethnic group, this has increased by 0.2% well below average, this has two Subgroups one being the new Subgroup Arab, and the other being Any other ethnic group, which also has comparability issues with the 2001 census.
In table 2 which shows the diversity of ethnicity in percentages, looking across the regions Wales has the highest percentage of White, and therefore the lowest diversity, at 95.6% with the South West & North East just behind at 95.4% & 95.3% respectively however the North East has a higher % of

    Different sociological theories have different perspectives in terms of explaining ethnic inequalities in modern Britain. For example functionalists would argue that ethnic inequalities have a purpose and are functional for society. In contrast to functionalists, Marxists would argue ethnic inequalities benefit the bourgeoisie (ruling class), whereas Postmodernists reject the traditional sociological explanations because modern Britain is becoming increasingly characterised by uncertainty and diversity. This is reflected in the statistics. The population has changed since 1993. Ethnic minorities accounted for 5.1% in modern Britain, the latest figure is 8.1%, demonstrating an increase in ethnic minorities immigrating to the UK.…
