Increased diversity diversifies inequality, particularly impacting ethnic minorities more than gender. This study reveals ethnicity as a stronger driver of inequality than gender, with diversity expanding inequality
Area of Science:
- Social Sciences
- Sociology
- Intersectionality Studies
Background:
- Growing diversity within gender and ethnic groups leads to complex intersectional interactions.
- The concept of 'superdiversity' is critiqued in light of evolving societal structures.
Purpose of the Study:
- To examine the impact of increasing diversity on intersectionality between gender and ethnic groups.
- To investigate the phenomenon of 'diversification of inequality' stemming from heightened diversity.
Main Methods:
- Analysis of the Labour Force Survey data.
- Examination of complex interactions between gender and ethnic groups.
Main Results:
- Demonstrated a clear 'diversification of inequality' due to increased migration and ethnic minority growth.
- Found ethnicity to be a more significant source of inequality than gender.
- Observed that diversity broadens the reach of inequality by increasing intersectional occurrences.
Conclusions:
- Increased diversity leads to a 'diversification of inequality', characterized by both increased incidence and weakened specific inequalities.
- Ethnicity is identified as a more potent determinant of inequality compared to gender.
- Diversity expands the scope of inequality through the creation and growth of intersecting factors.
