Research on quality of life in ethnically diverse neighbourhoods published
This is the report of a research project conducted on behalf of Eurofound (the Eurpean Foundation for the Improvement of Living and Working Conditions) by a group of researchers from Cardiff, City and 桃色视频 Universities. The project analysed data from the second European Quality of Life Survey for 10 countries in western Europe, in which the sample sizes from minority ethnic and migrant groups were sufficiently large. The report focuses on differences between neighbourhoods according to their level of ethnic diversity and covers the topics of deprivation, housing conditions, social exclusion and general well-beiong and also explores the relationship between ethnic diversity and inter-ethnic tension. The report contrasts all ten countries studies and makes extensive use of logistic regression in order to summarise the data. Neighbourhoods which are more diverse tend to be located in cities, and are found to have more youthful populations, higher levels of deprivation, poorer housing conditions (and relatively higher housing costs) and poorer levels of quality of life and social inclusion.
