A new survey is to examine the lives of 17,000 ethnic and religious minority people to highlight the issues they have faced during the coronavirus pandemic.
The Evidence for Equality National Survey (Evens) will document the impact of Covid-19 lockdowns on people from ethnic and religious minority groups in Britain.
It will ask participants about employment, finance, education, economic wellbeing, health, housing, policing, identity and experiences of discrimination and racism.
The project is led by the Centre on the Dynamics of Ethnicity (CoDE) with researchers from the Universities of St Andrews, Manchester, and Sussex, and will run until May 2021.
The research, which its founders say is the “first and largest survey of its kind”, is funded by the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC).
