Down and out cover

This landmark study provides the first comprehensive assessment of the nature and associations between the three main forms of social disadvantage in Australia: poverty, deprivation and social exclusion. Drawing on the author's extensive research expertise and his links with welfare practitioners, it explains the limitations of existing approaches and presents new findings that build on the insights of disadvantaged Australians and views about the essentials of life, providing the basis for a new deprivation-based poverty measure.

"This book moves us beyond the study of poverty using conventional income measures and introduces a range of other ways of studying poverty, deprivation and exclusion. The ideas and applications have lessons for all those involved in research on poverty and living standards." Jonathan Bradshaw, Professor of Social Policy, University of York
