Issues of poverty and social exclusion are high on the European
policy agenda. The Dynamics of Social Exclusion in Europe reports
findings from a study funded by the European Commission, using data
from the European Community Household Panel, with a
multi-dimensional approach to international comparisons of poverty
and social exclusion. The research, building upon that of the
preceding book - Poverty and Social Exclusion in Europe - compares
four groups who are anticipated to be at particular risk of poverty
and social exclusion; young adults, lone parents, the sick or
disabled, and those retired from employment. Following individuals
over a twelve month period, the analysis explores a wide range of
indicators of poverty and social exclusion. These include low
incomes, lack of household amenities, personal necessities and
consumer durables, and the extent of social contact with friends,
neighbours and membership of clubs or organisations. The
contributors not only provide country-based data, locating
empirical findings in the context of national policy, but also
cross-national data, with implications for supranational policy.
Promoting a thorough understanding of policy trends and issues,
this book will be invaluable to policy makers within individual
countries and at EU level, as well as academics, students and
researchers specialising in social exclusion.
