About

This website was launched in 2013 to promote comparative perspectives on the pressing social concerns of poverty, inequality and social exclusion.

The launch followed an ESRC / JSPS funded seminar, held in Japan in January 2012. This seminar involved some of the UK and Japan's leading researchers as well as policy-makers, practitioners and members of the public who came together to discuss and debate these issues.

The website aims to provide the research community with comparative information on the measurement and definition of poverty, inequality and social exclusion, people's subjective experiences of these deprivations and policies to tackle them.
