The dataset is labelled ‘unemployment’ but shows the number of people between the ages of 16-24 who are neither working nor being trained and are not enrolled in any education institute either. The data was collected over a period of three years, from 2017 to 2019.

Pakistanis in Britain have the highest percentage with 14.3% being unemployed under the definition. The number is highest among nine countries.

The next highest rate belongs to Bangladesh with 12%, while only 7.3% of young Indians are unproductive according to the data.

The overall employment data for the country, covering ages 16 to 64, also shows a similar trend.

In this dataset, Pakistani and Bangladeshi have been clubbed together, but they still account for the lowest percentage of people employed with only 58% combined. The percentage is the lowest out of the 10 categories.

Here too, Indians outpace Pakistan with 78% of people employed. They are only outpaced by white people of non-British origin, of whom 82% are employed.

Consequently, the trend from employment and unemployment figures do not show a decisive effect on the overall happiness score. The data does not specify ages, meaning it covers the overall community. The happiness index awards a score out of 10.

Figures show that the Pakistanis in the UK have a happiness score of 7.57 which is the fourth highest among the ten groups that were surveyed for the data.

While Indian, Bangladeshi and other ethnicities are happier than Pakistanis, Arabs, Black, Chinese and even white people have a lower score.
