“…Combating social exclusion is a major aim of European policy (Atkinson et al ., 2002; Barnes et al ., 2002). It has also been central to the UK policy agenda since Labour came to power in 1997 (Hills et al ., 2002).…”

“…It also draws attention to the different national and international traditions and perceptions of citizenship and the polity more widely. The emphasis on labour market participation as central to inclusion is seen as typical of European understandings of social exclusion (Barnes et al ., 2002), yet within Europe there is also disagreement about its exact meaning. Social rights are seen as central to its understanding in some contexts (Abrahamson, 1997), while community membership and mutuality are stressed by others (Saraceno, 1997).…”

This paper explores the extent to which social activity in England and Wales varies by ethnic group and whether risks of social isolation are higher for some groups than others. It aims to enhance our understanding of social deprivation as a particular dimension of poverty and its variation by ethnicity.It also provides empirical evidence that informs discussions of social capital formation which focus on informal measures of participation, and amplifies our understanding of ethnic capital within groups. Estimating the characteristics associated with four measures of social activity together, using a multivariate probit model, the analysis identifies the extent to which ethnic group is associated with low participation on any given measure. Cross-equation correlations between observables within the model can additionally indicate an underlying propensity to social isolation.The paper concludes that there are distinctive patterns of social activity across ethnic groups, that social isolation is not coterminous with material deprivation, and that greater attention should be paid to social isolation as a particular dimension of deprivation that is unevenly distributed.

“…Welfare policies were once based on the logics of response to demands that were seen as homogeneous and differentiated, and were managed in a rigid and bureaucratic way. Nowadays, demands are increasingly heterogeneous and manifest themselves in a multitude of ways, requiring personal, more flexible, and less bureaucratic approaches (Lewis, 1998;Saraceno, 2002;Barnes, 2002;Moreno, 2004). This is the framework for the concept of social exclusion, a concept which includes but goes beyond poverty.…”

Social exclusion is a relatively new term intended to capture the changing nature of poverty. It is difficult to operationalize and may be defined differently among governments. The Spanish autonomous communities all have responsibilities in this area and vary in the degree and nature of exclusion risks faced by their populations. They have developed distinct strategies, which are analysed along the axes of public powers versus market solutions, and families versus social networks.

“…A recent trend in social policy is addressing 'social exclusion' which makes explicit the material conditions and outcomes of the exclusion of certain groups, like persons with disabilities, from mainstream society (Gordon 2000;Hills, Burchardt and Piachaud 2002;Barnes, Heady, Middleton and Millar 2003). Generally, concerns about high rates of poverty are the main focus, but increasingly consideration is given to access to paid employment, the legal system and the formal political system.…”

People with disabilities, especially women, suffer from appallingly high rates of poverty, and paid work is frequently cited as a primary route out of poverty. I draw on feminist analyses of work and disability studies to reflect on the Canadian federal government's Employment Equity Act. I use the example of the ‘Big Six’ banks to investigate the numerical representation and occupational distribution of women and men with disabilities compared to their counterparts without disabilities. However, social justice in the workplace is at least as much about the quality of social relationships as it is about statistical effects. Reaching workplace equity also involves the creation of a workplace climate where people with disabilities experience supportive and responsive supervision, along with a sense of being respected and valued. I assess the banks’ progress towards identifying and eliminating discriminatory disabling barriers. I close with a discussion of workplace climate and locate the Act in the context of a broader network of change that includes challenging ableism.
