Higher education rates fail to translate into employment parity for British Muslims
Evidence
Yet despite the evidence provided by such data, Muslims remain as marginalized in Britain today. … A larger proportion of this faith group are in full-time education compared with the national figure, yet a higher percentage of Muslims are unemployed. In addition, Muslims are more likely to be economically inactive, and of those who are in employment, lower percentages are found within the highest employment classes. A significantly higher proportion of Muslim women reported looking after the home compared with women of all other faith categories, and this is even the case among the youngest age group. — A. Hussain, N. Meer, Framing Muslim Integration, 258
