Muslim women’s economic inactivity exceeds both their male peers and all other faith groups

Evidence

Muslim women in all age brackets are less likely to be economically active not only than their male counterparts, but also than women from all other faith groups. When the figures are broken down by ethnicity, 37% of Pakistani, 37% of Bangladeshi and 35% of Arab women are economically active compared with 62% of Indian women and 57% of women nationally. — Runnymede Trust (ed.
