The report analyzes social exclusion in countries in the region since 1991 using a multidimensional approach. It develops a methodology to measure social exclusion based on deprivations across economic, social services, and participation dimensions. The report finds that individual characteristics like age, education level, employment status, and where people live impact social exclusion levels. Factors like governance, labor markets, values, and local context like location in a mono-company town also drive exclusion. The report concludes transition to a market economy left some behind and reforms have not always improved lives. It recommends a comprehensive, preventative approach targeting individual vulnerabilities and institutional drivers to break the social exclusion chain.

Pittsburgh Nonprofit Summit - Poverty in Southwest PA - A Strategy for Stoppi...GPNP
Natalie Branosky, Director of the Center for Economic & Social Inclusion highlighted the poverty situation in Southwest PA utilizing UK indicators and began the dialogue on a strategy to reverse the trend in the Pittsburgh region.
UNDESA-DSPD, from 8 August to 5 September 2012, conducted a global online survey to gather inputs for consideration by the 51st session of the Commission for Social Development (CSocD), which took place from 6 to 15 February 2013.
The survey enabled the public worldwide to respond to a set of questions that were related to the priority theme of CSocD on "Promoting empowerment of people in achieving poverty eradication, social integration and full employment and decent work for all”.
Suburban poverty affects over 16.4 million people across the U.S. and is growing rapidly, significantly outpacing the growth rate of urban poverty over the last decade (64% vs. 29%). Experts suggest that the problem of suburban poverty is “the new normal.” While the basic needs of the poor in the suburbs are similar to those of the urban poor (e.g. education inequity, poor access to quality healthcare etc.), there are some critical systemic differences (e.g. limited transportation options, jurisdictional challenges etc.). These challenges are further exacerbated by the lack of awareness and understanding of the problem and
potential solutions.

Gentrification, Revitalization, and Feral Communities
Gentrification is an upward shift in income, education, occupational levels, and house values. Gentrification has a general effect on the increase in inequality by widening the gap between the poor and the rich in the society (Lees, 2015). On the other hand, revitalization is restoring something to an active condition by investing in the community mainly on the resident parts (Xian & Chen, 2015). Additionally, a feral community is a metropolis with a population of more than one million individuals in the state. In feral communities, the structures continue to grow, and the majority of the occupants do not voluntarily leave. ]
Therefore, there are several negative and positive effects posed by gentrification, revitalization, and feral communities. For example, The positive effects that are associated with the gentrification shortly are that there will be an increase in the tax revenue in the community as gentrification seeks to bring more people to the community area with a wide range of interest in developing the community and funding various businesses.
Additionally, there will be a boost in the local economy in the future as there is the introduction of the wealthy groups into the community seeking to improve the economy of the particular community. Also, revitalisation seeks to improve the physical and social environments in the community which have been deposited hence improving the community standards,
The negative effects caused is that there is an increasing number of crime in the community areas as several youths are found to be unemployed; hence they resort to crime and violence in the community. Additionally, there is the issue of inequality where several individuals are discriminated in various aspects and hence are not able to receive the various services like education hence there are the disparity issues. Moreover, there is also the issue of the inefficient healthcare system as there has been an increased aging population without the proper healthcare condition that they deserve. Additionally, gentrification has also seen the collapse of various business in the black community areas while in the white sectors, businesses continue as usual. This has the effect of segregation and inequality arises.

2. Oxford—natural place for launch: evolving OPHI-UNDP cooperation large network of HD professionals and students Report is the fruit of very hard work, with support of many dedicated people—we thank them all In particular, large team of authors—many are here, others follow the launch on-line. Why Oxford; acknowledgements
3. Human Development and Social Inclusion Complementary, people-centered concepts; evolved in parallel so far Human development isthegoalto achieve—people living long, healthy and creative lives they have reason to value; Social inclusion isthe meansto get there; and Social exclusion—the existence of cumulative deprivations in three dimensions—is the obstacleto be overcome to achieve the goal.
4. Overall objectives of the Report Understand the dynamics of social exclusion, inclusion and human development in the region since 1991 Provide tools for assessing levels and intensity of social exclusion, detecting its main causes and the risks Identify determinants of social exclusion in individual dimensions Formulate realistic, evidence-based policy responses at central and local levels to effectively address it
5. To achieve these objectives, we Define the chain of social exclusion: risks interacting with drivers and local characteristics to result in exclusion status Develop an operational methodology for social exclusion measurement and monitoring at national and local levels Analyze patterns of exclusion Provide policy recommendations rooted in local specifics to enhance social inclusion.
6. Exclusion, not multi-dimensional poverty Same methodology as MPI, but different application Social exclusion: accumulation of deprivations -Dynamic process: interaction of exclusion risks, drivers, local context; feedback loops -Relative (but not subjective): deprivations are measured relative to others in same society; but the measure is not about feelings of deprivation—it is about not having access to basic consumption basket, public services or social networks. 6
7. The social exclusion chain Individual characteristics gender, ethnicity, health status Feedback to traits Positive: empowered, educated, Negative – accident as consequence of informal labor Inclusion Drivers of Exclusion Local context: rural, mono-town Positive reinforcing feedback i.e. vote, voice or action Institutions, policies and values Exclusion Negative feedback i.e. informality, unemployment
8. The report’s quantitative underpinnings Social Exclusion Survey in 6 countries of the region (FYROM, SRB, UKR, MVA, TAJ, KAZ) Locality-specific data for contextualization of survey Secondary data on all countries of the region Development and other indicators relevant to social exclusion and inclusion
12. Tough measurement question:How many deprivations does it take to be excluded? Threshold-number of deprivations, a matter of choice Our survey: 9 12
13. The cut-off line affects the share of excluded, but not countries’ relative standing
32. The quality of local infrastructure also affects social exclusion
33. Lasting effects of environmental disasters in yet another area: social exclusion
34. Towards an ‘individualized approach’ to social exclusion Integrating individual risks, specifics of local context, and values.
35. Individual vulnerabilities (like disability) interact with local conditions and amplify exclusion Different combinations of individual risks, drivers and local context results in different levels of social exclusion Average Average risk of exclusion in the region hides significant territorial differences… Capital or economic center Disabled doesn’t mean automatically excluded! Local conditions matter Small town Village
37. In sum: both who you are and where you live matter If you are young person, with low education, living in a village, or a town with a single company—you face a high risk of exclusion… …and secondary education doesn’t help much in these conditions… + …while vibrant business environment makes a lot of difference + …economic centers offer more opportunities (even with low education) + …and much more if you are educated + + + 37
38.
39. It could be anyone! Everyone is at risk of being left out of society, not only marginalized groups.
40. Income doesn’t tell the whole story ! To be part of society, you also need access to public services, and opportunities to participate in community life.
42. No single policy can eliminate exclusion - Policies need to be comprehensive to break the social exclusion chain38
43. Recommendations Genuine, sustained commitment to social inclusion with clear targets Preventive focus on individual vulnerabilities Clear focus on people’s capacities Addressing institutional drivers is crucial Match this with deliberate efforts to change mindsets UNDP can help: We can generate projectable ideas We can implement them region-wide using our country office network, and partners
Editor's Notes
Downward spiral: discrimination/gender bias raising unemployment; ineffective health, education, social spending leading to lower tax baseUpward spiral: education of girls in Muslim societies; human capital gains from including Roma in labor markets.
WB Index government effectiveness Barriers to businessInformality
Actually the study has a data set on individual characteristics and local context, which makes it possible to combine the individual risks fro exclusion
