Geography, ethnicity, genealogy and inter-generational social inequality in Great Britain

Short Abstract

The paper makes an important contribution to geographical thinking by applying new scale-free methods to (a) ascribe geographic origins to long-established British populations, and (b) ascribe origin characteristics to more recent migrants.

We demonstrate that social mobility outcomes for more recent migrant groups are diverse and that conventional statistical classifications of ethnicity conceal some diversity of outcomes that arise from probable national origins, family group membership, and length of family group establishment in Britain. Click here for full article

It is time to declare a national war on cancer, which is the biggest cause of death from disease in this country. It is a menace that has taken far too many people before their time and caused grief and suffering on a massive scale. As a country, we have made great progress in recent years; in just the last 15 years, one-year survival has increased by more than 10 percentage points, a remarkable achievement. But despite this progress, I am determined that we will go much further. This is essential if we are to complete the job of recovering cancer services following the pandemic and use the impressive advances in diagnosis and treatments to radicall...
