The Index of Multiple Deprivation measures poverty and deprivation across seven domains: income, employment, education, health, crime, barriers to housing and services, and living environment. It ranks small areas in England from most to least deprived based on indicators in each domain. Local authorities use the index to identify areas with high levels of deprivation and prioritize allocation of resources and services to disadvantaged neighborhoods and populations.
The imbalances of wealth and poverty in the Waikato region are brought home in the latest report developed by Poverty Action Waikato. Entitled “Imbalances and Inequalities”, this report draws attention to the failure of unfettered market in the meeting of human needs and the steady creation of inequality and wealth concentration.
Housing, primarily organized through the private market place, is not available for low income households at an affordable rate. The day to day struggle of making ends meet impacts households, reducing their ability to provide for their children and our future generations. Unaffordable housing and food insecurity go hand in hand. The lack of financial resources in our lower income households, with which to meet both housing and food costs, creates the ongoing need for charitable services and philanthropy. Services like foodbanks and the need for the provision of food in lower decile schools are directly connected to the lack of financial resources that communities have access to.
Agriculture is the traditional wealth and income earner for the Waikato region, yet employment opportunities in the sector are reducing. This does not bode well for the pool of unemployed people who desperately need work opportunity. The global financial crises and the employment shocks that occurred as part of the 2008 recession, demonstrated the vulnerability of livelihoods that depend to varying degrees on commodity markets. Young people, single parents, Māori and Pacifica peoples are disproportionately affected by poor labour market conditions. Single men without work, and particularly those who have been through the criminal justice system, face considerable challenges in reintegrating and contributing to society.
Single parents with low education attainment often have more limited employment opportunities than other parents. Parenting is demanding work. The vulnerability of children in single parent households where income and support are limited is an ongoing concern. The creation of employment and training opportunities for vulnerable young women in rural centres is an important consideration. The welfare reforms are heavily vested in encouraging people into work. Unfortunately, we have not heard many stories related to the creation of work and the redistribution of wealth through employment.
Many people are responding to the lack of resources in creative ways. Most services and goods that people need cost money. However, some communities are fostering initiatives that facilitate sharing and reciprocity that do not depend on monetary markets.
This report highlights the ongoing privatization of human welfare and the dominance of market based processes in the organization and distribution of resources. This shift appears to be exacerbating wealth and income inequality which in turn negatively affects the degree of interconnectedness that people experience in their day to day lives. This report calls for better equ

Some communities are much better equipped than others to shape the area they live in and to use the new opportunities that the Localism agenda affords to co-design and deliver public services. Whether in terms of human and financial capital or levels of volunteering and prevalence of voluntary organisations, it is the more affluent neighbourhoods and communities that have a head start. If we disregard this fact, the whole localist agenda could inadvertently exacerbate existing inequalities rather than closing the gap.
You cannot address health inequalities without looking at the social determinants such as education and employment skills. This applies at the individual as well as the neighbourhood level.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

2. The Index of Multiple Deprivation is a UK
government statistical study of deprived areas in
UK local authorities.
• It measures poverty and deprivation
The Seven Domains of Deprivation
across seven different dimensions or
‘domains’
Income
• Poverty can be defined as a lack of
financial resources to obtain the types
of diet, participate in the activities and Education

Barriers to
• Deprivation can be defined as a lack of Disability
Services
resources of all kinds, not just financial.
It can encompass a wide range of an
individual’s living conditions, not just Living
Crime
lack of money Environment
The index of Multiple Deprivation is considered to be one of the most significant pieces
of research into poverty and deprivation currently available. It is widely used by local
authorities to prioritise and allocate resources and services in your area.
3. Low income is a central component of
the definition of multiple deprivation
• While people experiencing some These domains are combined, with
forms of deprivation may not all have appropriate weighting, into a single
low income, people experiencing measure of multiple deprivation

4. The index of multiple deprivation ranks and scores
tiny geographical areas called Lower Super Output
Areas or LSOA’s
• Lower Super Output areas contain Example: Lower Super Output area E01016664 in
approximate populations of 1,000 to the local authority of Wokingham
1,500 people
• There are 32,482 Lower Super Output
Areas or LSOA's in England.
• An area is characterised as deprived
relative to other areas on the basis of
the proportion of people in the area It has an IMD score of
experiencing the type of deprivation in 0.94
question – in other words it is given a
‘rank’
This gives it a rank of 32,474 – which
means it is one of the least deprived
• Each LSOA area is ranked where 1 is
areas in England
the most deprived and 32,482 is the
least deprived.
5. The full rank of LSOA 32,482 can be grouped into
Deciles to make comparison easier
Example: LSOA E01000008 in Barking
and Dagenham local authority
It has an IMD score of 45.22...
..which gives it a rank of 3,172.
This puts in Decile 10 which means the area is in
the most deprived 10% of areas in England.
6. The ranks and scores can then be plotted on a ‘heat map’
and colour coded to indicate the level of deprivation
You can do this for Index of
Multiple Deprivation or for
one of the seven domains
such as Income deprivation
or Employment
Deprivation
7. Inequalities in income and wealth
translate into residential segregation
Differences in house prices, rents and
tenure along with the labour market
act as a sifting process:
while the relatively affluent can choose
to live in certain kinds of
neighbourhoods, the less affluent cannot
The rationed nature of social housing
exacerbates this trend with the
most needy and vulnerable who
qualify for housing
The result is that the most
vulnerable and those with the least
choices are concentrated together in
‘undesirable’ areas
8. IMD data is used by local authorities to prioritise
and allocate resources based on need
• Different domains can also be
separately mapped – for example a
map focusing on the health domain
may reveal some areas of high need
that may not be considered deprived
on the overall index of multiple
deprivation
• Local authorities use such data to
allocate resources efficiently for
programmes such as
regeneration, neighbourhood renewal
or to identify disadvantaged pupils for
additional support or allocate grants to
community groups
• It can also be used for targeted
interventions at the neighbourhood
level
Editor's Notes
“while people experiencing some forms of deprivation may not all have low income, people experiencing multiple or single but very severe forms of deprivation are in almost every instance likely to have very little income and little or no other resources” (Townsend 1987, p.131)
The index of multiple deprivation then ranks and scores tiny geographical areas called Lower Super Output Areas or LSOA’s containing approximate populations of 1,500 people. This means that an area is characterised as deprived relative to other areas on the basis of the proportion of people in the area experiencing the type of deprivation in question.
The index of multiple deprivation then ranks and scores tiny geographical areas called Lower Super Output Areas or LSOA’s containing approximate populations of 1,500 people. This means that an area is characterised as deprived relative to other areas on the basis of the proportion of people in the area experiencing the type of deprivation in question.
