Exclusion in Industrialized Countries

Chapter 4 in Poverty and Exclusion in a Global World, 2004, pp 93-125 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract In Chapters 2 and 3 we developed an analytical and operational framework for the study of social exclusion. This and the following chapter are concerned with the testing of this framework in both industrialized countries and the transition economies of Eastern Europe and Central Asia. In this chapter we examine the experiences of North America (the underclass) and Western Europe (social exclusion). In order to place the discussion in a concrete country setting, we undertake a case study of France. Our discussion covers the following three related sets of main issues: (a) economic, social and political aspects of exclusion, (b) distributional and relational issues and (c) indicators of job precariousness.
