Abstract: | This paper models social exclusion as being in a state of deprivation over time. Deprivation is viewed as having two basic determinants: the lack of identification with other members of society, and the aggregate alienation experienced by an agent as to those having fewer functioning failures. Using an axiomatic approach, new individual and aggregate measures of deprivation and social exclusion are characterized. The aggregate measures are applied to EU data for the period from 1994 to 2001. |
