Poverty and Social Exclusion in the UK

Based on the largest UK study of its kind ever commissioned, this fascinating book provides the most detailed national picture of poverty and social exclusion. Chapters consider a range of dimensions of disadvantage - access to local services or employment, social relations or civic participation, health and well-being. The book also explores relationships between these in the first truly multi-dimensional analysis of exclusion. Written by leading academics, this is an authoritative account of welfare outcomes achieved across the UK.
