British blacks are less fortunate than the U.S

LONDON - Residents of blacks in Britain have higher chances for the unemployed than blacks in the United States.
This is revealed in research by the UK Social Association, BSA, which is expressed in the opening of the BSA conference in Manchester today.
Based on these studies, in the last three recessions the unemployment rate among adult men and young black adults in the UK could reach 19% higher than unemployment in the United States.
In front of the conference, Professor Yaojun Li of the University of Manchester, presented statistics on unemployment among black women in times of recession the 1980s, the 1990s, and 2011 with a rate of 25%, 26%, and 17% while in the United States 20 %, 12%, and 13%.
Higher unemployment in the third period of recession was also evident among British black man.
"In general, there is greater ethnic inequalities in Britain than in the United States for both sexes," said Professor Li.
"It gave a strong indication that a flexible labor market that is applied in the UK within a few decades does not protect ethnic minorities in the face of a repeat of the recession."
Professor Li believes that affirmative action policies pursued by the U.S. government, including the requirement for government agencies to have a composition corresponding to the employee-managed to reduce the unemployment rate among U.S. blacks.
Among black youth, a similar trend was also seen in the age group 16-24 years mengganggur recession in the UK in 2011 reached 23% while in the United States 22%.
But the difference is two times thinner than the previous recession, which is 27% (1980) and 27% (1990) in England was in the United States 21% (1980) and 17% (1990).
Professor Li added that the reduced difference in unemployment rates of black people in Britain and the United States occurred in all age groups and genders.
