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.
Peter Saunders is one of Australia's leading poverty researchers with an international reputation for his work in that and related fields. His work on poverty and inequality led to his election as a Fellow of the Academy of the Social Sciences and his appointment as a University of South Wales Scientia Professor. He has is currently President of the Australian Social Policy Association and of the Foundation for International Studies on Social Security.
