Social Exclusion
The Multidimensional Analysis of Social Exclusion: A Research Report for the Social Exclusion Task Force
By Ruth Levitas, Christina Pantazis, Eldin Fahmy, David Gordon, Eva Lloyd and Demi Patsios. Department of Sociology and School for Social Policy, Townsend Centre for the International Study of Poverty and Bristol Institute for Public Affairs, University of Bristol.
The purpose of this project is to:
- Review existing sources on multi-dimensional disadvantage or severe forms of social exclusion characterised as 'deep exclusion'
- Recommend possibilities for secondary analysis of existing data sets to explore the dynamics of 'deep exclusion'
- Identify any relevant gaps in the knowledge base
- Recommend research strategies for filling such gaps
Appendix seven of the report contains the Bristol Social Exclusion Matrix (B-SEM) which is a matrix of domains and topic areas of potential importance to social exclusion research. The B-SEM details the coverage of these domains and topic areas in existing surveys and administrative data sets.
