AnnotationThe theme of exclusion came to the forefront of French political life in 1995. The author proposes to demonstrate how there has been a gradual change in public perception of the difficulties facing a number of citizens who have been driven to the outer edges of society. The `risk of exclusion' results from two phenomena which combine and reinforce each other: the risk of being kept out of the labour market and of employment; and the risk of seeing one's network of social relations and primary integration being broken up because basic social links, of which the family is the most important, disintegrate - also referred to as `relational vulnerability'.
