Scotland's Census 2022 - MV606 - Industry by ethnic group

This dataset provides Census 2022 estimates for industry by ethnic group in UK in Scotland.

Industry

The industry in which a person works, or the industry in which they worked in their last main job.

The industry in which a person works relates to their main job and is derived from the main activity of their employer or business. This is used to assign responses to an industry code based on the UK Standard Industrial Classification of Economic Activities.

Ethnic group

Ethnic group classifies people according to their own perceived ethnic group and cultural background. Whilst the main ethnic group categories have not changed from the question asked in Census 2011, some of the detailed response options and write-in prompts for Scotland's Census 2022 were changed based on stakeholder engagement and subsequent question testing.
