Economic activity by ethnicity is not available in detail for Hackney or City residents. Figure 8 shows the breakdown for London as a whole.

Figure 4 shows that inequality in attainment by ethnicity increases across the life course in Hackney residents. In the Early Years, there are no real differences between different ethnic groups, but in Key Stage 2 and at GCSE Asian pupils do significantly better than average.

Figure 6 shows that, in Hackney and the City, the rate of primary care attendance across the different age groups is similar in most ethnic groups, with the exception of British or Mixed British children (where rates are relatively higher among 15-19 year olds) and Asian children (where attendance rates decrease with increasing age). Overall, …
Among children aged four and under in Hackney and the City, those of White or Black ethnicities have the highest rates of emergency admission and those of Mixed or Other backgrounds the lowest rates of admission (Figure 7). Figure 7: Emergency attendances and emergency admissions in Hackney and City 0-4 year olds at HUHFT per …

Conversely, children of White ethnicity are under-represented among Hackney’s looked after children – accounting for less than one …
