| Tiivistelmä: | A notable feature of the U.K. labour market is the over-representation of certain ethnic minority and immigrant groups in self-employment (herein as: s-e.). In this paper, microdata samples from the 1991 and 2001 Censuses are used to examine the dynamic and spatial patterns of ethnic entrepreneurship. Using decomposition methods it is found that, for males from the Asian groups, changes in observable characteristics associated with an increasing proportion of 2nd-generation individuals explain much of the decline in s-e. This, which is also true of Chinese females, reflects in part the age structure and educational experiences of the 2nd generation. The dynamics of Black male and Pakistani/Bangladeshi male and female entrepreneurship are less easy to explain. It is also found that, while there is no evidence of s-e. being an "enclave" phenomenon, local economic conditions influence on rates of entrepreneurship for some groups, notably Bangladeshis/Pakistanis. |
