BLACK and minority ethnic (BME) women are twice as likely to be on zero-hours contracts as white men, new TUC analysis due to be released today shows.
Nearly 6 per cent of BME women in work are on the contracts compared to 2.7 per cent of white men in work, the union body’s analysis of the 2023 Labour Force Survey has revealed.
Overall, BME workers are significantly over-represented on zero-hours contracts compared with white workers – 5.4 per cent of BME workers are on zero-hours contracts compared with 3.2 per cent of white workers.
