Social Trends 36

Socila Trends 36  
This year's feature report is on the ethnic and religious diversity of the UK population, looking at the labour market and educational achievements of the different ethnic and religious populations. It shows that the experiences of UK ethnic groups are as different as their origins, with diversity within groups as well as between them.

The population of the UK is growing, as is the number of homes that people live in. Families and households are changing as more people are living alone, and more young people are living with their parents. Cohabitation and births outside marriage are continuing to rise. People are travelling more, but there is also increasing pressure on our environment and natural resources, as carbon dioxide emissions from transport and our use of natural gas for energy continue to rise.
