revenue for every extra unit of labour they hire.
Ethnicity pay gap is the wage differential
between people who come from a white
background to those who come from a ethnic
minority background. This is due to racial
views that those who come from a white
background create a higher MRP than those
from a minority ethnic background. This
happens despite all ethnic backgrounds having
the same MRP. Employers are irrational and
they demand more workers from a white
background due to their racial belief that
people from a white background generate a higher MRP than those who are from the
minority group. This means that people from a white background will get a higher wage than
the minority ethnic group. This can be shown on the diagram as wage (W) for white ethnic
will be higher at Q than W1 (minority background) at Q1. This shows the wage differential of
the ethnicity pay gap between white background to those who are from a minority ethnic
background in the uk shown between w1 and w2.
