Ethnic Group and the British Census: The Search for a Question

K. Sillitoe and P. H. White

Journal of the Royal Statistical Society Series A, 1992, vol. 155, issue 1, 141-163

Abstract: The 1991 census contained, for the first time, a question on the ethnic group of each member of the population of Great Britain. This paper reports on how a question was developed which has a sufficiently high degree of acceptance from all the main ethnic groups, and which is answered sufficiently accurately, to justify inclusion in the census.
