A new study by the London School of Economics shows widening wealth gaps among ethnic groups in the UK. The report found that median household wealth rose sharply for Indian-origin people since 2012, alongside gains among white British households. In contrast, wealth among people of Pakistani origin declined significantly over the same period. Several other minority groups, including black African, black Caribbean and Bangladeshi households, reported very low accumulated wealth. The study used data from the UK Household Longitudinal Survey between 2012/14 and 2021/23. It also found that UK-born Indians hold higher wealth than non-UK-born Indians and white British adults, driven mainly by home ownership and investments. (PC: Moneycontrol)
