Education
Levels of education within the Somali community are low. A 2005 Institute for Public Policy Research (IPPR) report found that 50 percent had no qualifications and 3 percent had higher-education qualifications. At school, girls generally perform better than boys.[80]
Employment
Somali-born migrants have the lowest employment rate among all immigrants in the UK.[36] Figures published by the Office for National Statistics show high rates of economic inactivity and unemployment amongst Somali immigrants. In the three months to June 2008, 31.4 percent of Somali men and 84.2 percent of Somali women were economically inactive (the statistics include students, carers and the long-term sick, injured or disabled in this group).[81][82] Of those who were economically active, 41.4 percent of the men and 39.1 percent of the women were unemployed. Employment rates were 40.1 percent for men and 9.6 percent for women. The male employment rate has, however, risen from 21.5 percent in 1998.[81]
