Social Exclusion and Integration in Poland: an indicators-based approach


Author(s):

This report is the outcome of the project “Strengthening social inclusion process – searching for a compromise in order to reach Lisbon Strategy and Millennium Development Goals”, implemented by UNDP in Poland. It provides a tested framework of indicators for measuring social exclusion and progress toward cohesion, as a basis for comprehensive monitoring and evaluation of policy.

Poverty and socio-economic disparities impede development and social cohesion in many countries, and the report is relevant across a wide range of national contexts; a particular emphasis is made on the link between the EU social inclusion agenda and the UN MDG agenda.
