to segregation’ or ‘Ever more diversity’? A review of
population studies.

Ludi Simpson has
helped government and communities make the best of
statistics at West Yorkshire Councils and most recently as
Professor of Population Studies at the University of
Manchester. His review of population studies concludes that
Britain is becoming ever more diverse through immigration
and through residential and social mixing within the UK.
Claims of increasing segregation fit a perspective of a
calamitous clash of civilisations but not the evidence from
numerous demographic and social studies.
