| Annotation | Issues of poverty and social exclusion are high on the European Union (EU) policy agenda. The editors and contributors report findings from a study funded by the European Commission (EC). They use data from the European Community Household Panel (ECHP), with a multi-dimensional approach to international comparisons of poverty and social exclusion. The research builds on that in a previous book, "Poverty and social exclusion in Europe", to compare 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. The analysis follows individuals over a 12-month period to explore indicators of poverty and social exclusion that include: low incomes; lack of household amenities, personal necessities and consumer durables; the extent of social contact with friends and neighbours; and membership of clubs or organisations.
