Development and people of African descent 2015, para. 49
Paragraph
Paragraph text
The Working Group is concerned by the pervasive and distinct form of racism faced by people of African descent in employment and the labour market. Most statistical data from different parts of the world point to people of African descent and Africans as being among the most unemployed, and often subjected to racial discrimination while seeking employment. Similarly, people of African descent often lack access to quality health services and face disparities in health status as a result of racial discrimination.
