Monitoring poverty and social exclusion in Northern Ireland 2006

A study from the New Policy Institute draws on the latest available data to monitor indicators of poverty and social exclusion in Northern Ireland. . . . The report covers a wide range of subjects, including income poverty, benefit recipiency, employment and pay, disadvantage at work, exclusion from services, housing and neighbourhoods, health and harm, and education. On each subject, it looks at the situation in Northern Ireland compared with that in Great Britain, trends over time in Northern Ireland (except for income poverty, where such data is not available), and the major inequalities within Northern Ireland. Where relevant, the impact of the Troubles and the subsequent ceasefires is also discussed.
