摘要

The inclusion of women in the job market in the UK is a multifaceted challenge that involves addressing various factors. Data suggests that migrant men are more likely to be employed than UK-born men (83% vs. 78% in 2020), but among women, migrants are less likely to be in employment. A qualitative approach was taken to explore the challenges in the inclusion of women of Indian ethnicity in the UK labour market. A qualitative research methodology with semi-structured interviews and thematic inductive analysis underpinned by grounded theory was utilised. Fifteen samples were selected from different NUTs in the UK. Participants who provided consent were interviewed either online or in-person meetings. The language used during the interview was English, Bengali or Hindi. Interviews were audio-recorded, transcribed and coded manually. An inductive interpretive approach was adopted and data were analysed thematically. Inductive thematic coding and analysis yielded few themes. The implications of findings are discussed in the context of inclusive agendas for the social mobility of minorities set by the UK.
