About this title

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.
