Understanding Social Exclusion FROM THE PUBLISHER
This book explores the issue of social exclusion. It asks three main questions: How can social exclusion be measured? What are its main determinants or influences? And what policies can reduce social exclusion? The authors aim to consider how a focus on social exclusion may alter the policy questions that are most relevant by fostering debate in government, research, and academic circles.
SYNOPSIS
Economists and policy researchers associated with the Centre for Analysis of Social Exclusion at the London School of Economics explore the meaning of social exclusion, quantify its extent, analyze some its causes and relationships between them, examine the policy and practice of attempts to tackle it, and ponder whether current research directions are in fact helping at all.
