The latest UK Census has revealed the country is as diverse now as it has ever been, even if that is not always reflected in the workplace.
The data showed 81.7% of people in England and Wales identify as white, down from 86% when the last census was taken in 2011.
Across both countries, 10.1% of households has members identifying with two or more different ethnic groups, an increase from 8.7% in 2011, equating to 2.5 million and 2 million people respectively.
