Synopsis
Previous annual editions of "Monitoring Poverty and Social Exclusion" received considerable attention from both Government and media when they were published by the Joseph Rowntree Foundation. Following the success of the first edition "Monitoring Poverty and Social Exclusion: Labour's Inheritance" published in 1998, this report now enjoys a certain status as an objective record of the progress, or otherwise, that is being made in reducing poverty and social exclusion in Britain. With the Government's wide-ranging programme of initiatives to tackle poverty and social exclusion now reaching the point where evidence of its effects is coming through, independent, quantitative monitoring of progress is becoming even more important. The 2002 report follows the model of previous editions, focusing on 50 indicators. All the indicators are updated for the latest data available, showing both how the indicator has changed over time and how it varies between the population as a whole and the more vulnerable groups within it. The principle of quantitative monitoring pioneered by the reports has been taken up by Government and others and the use of numerical indicators to monitor the extent of poverty and social exclusion is now widespread.

Synopsis
The first and second editions of this report, Monitoring poverty and social exclusion: Labour's inheritance (1998) and Monitoring poverty and social exclusion 1999, attracted widespread coverage and set out a base line against which the Labour Government's progress on tackling poverty and social exclusion can be measured. This third report tracks the indicators of poverty and social exclusion based on 1999 and/or 2000 figures. It outlines how the country is fairing with respect to this important social issue at the heart of government endeavour and illustrates where indicators of poverty and exclusion have improved, declined or remained the same since the last report. The book also contains a summary of government policy introduced since May 1997 that is relevant to each indicator, and highlights central challenges for those involved in tackling poverty and social exclusion in Britain.
