英国政府将于本周三宣布创建一个新的平等单位，以白人工薪阶层的不平等问题作为工作重点。1 女性和平等事务部长Bridget Phillipson将主持该项宣布。1 新单位将设立在平等和机会办公室框架内，同时成立于2010年的社会流动委员会将被废除。1
新单位将推行社会经济责任制，要求公共机构审视其决策如何能够减少低收入家庭因社会经济劣势而面临的不平等现象。1 约20名内阁办公室公务员预计将转移至新单位工作。1 值得注意的是，社会阶级在此次改革中不会获得《平等法》下的新法律保护地位。1
近期研究为这一举措提供了背景支撑。社会流动委员会最新报告指出，"根深蒂固的劣势"存在于英国前工业社区。1 一项由Star Academies委托、教育部支持进行的独立调查发现，英国教育系统"没有服务白人工薪阶层儿童的利益"。1 Phillipson在6月曾表示，"长期以来首次，白人工薪阶层儿童拥有一个会为他们而战的政府"。1
The British government will announce the creation of a dedicated equalities unit on Wednesday, positioning white working-class inequality as a central priority 1. The unit will be established within the Office for Equality and Opportunity, while the Social Mobility Commission, created in 2010, will be dissolved 1. Approximately 20 civil servants from the Cabinet Office are expected to transfer to the new organization 1.
Women and Equalities Minister Bridget Phillipson will make the announcement 1. Social class will not receive new protected characteristic status under the Equality Act 1. The new unit will implement socioeconomic accountability measures, requiring public institutions to consider how their decisions reduce inequality faced by low-income families experiencing socioeconomic disadvantage 1.
The Social Mobility Commission's latest report documented "entrenched disadvantage" in former industrial communities across the UK 1. An independent investigation commissioned by Star Academies and supported by the Department for Education found that the British education system "has not served the interests of white working-class children" 1. Speaking in June, Phillipson stated: "For the first time in a long time, white working-class children have a government that will fight for them" 1.
