Recommendation 16
16
Insufficient up-to-date data on income and employment for Muslims and religious groups.
Conclusion
There remains a lack of up-to-date data on income and employment related to Muslims and other religious groups. Current data based on ethnicity only offers a partial insight into current trends. It is disappointing that this data gap has not been addressed since our predecessor’s report in 2016, which highlighted that a lack of such data hinders policy efficacy in addressing inequality. (Conclusion, Paragraph 85)
