13. Intersectionality describes people who are in possession of a combination of equality characteristics, who may face multiple barriers and compounded discrimination in the labour market (for example, disabled women, or people from racialised minorities aged over 50)

14. The Scottish Government adopts the term 'racialised minorities' to show that it is systems and structures that do not work for those who are categorised on the basis of "race", and because of this are sometimes treated differently or disadvantaged. These terms are becoming more widely used across Scottish Government, in line with our acceptance that racism is a structural issue. We support everyone's right to self-identify according to the term they relate to or are most comfortable with. Terminology changes as societal and systemic understanding grows. It should be noted that in labour market data analysis, the term minority ethnic is used and in reserved legislation such as the Equality Act (2010), the term "race" is used. These terms are not helpful to understand how racialised inequity impacts on those who experience systemic, institutional or interpersonal racism.
