Non-governmental Expert Reports on first National Action Plans (June 2001- June 2003)
         


Since December 2002, DG Employment and Social Affairs is assisted by a network of non-governmental experts in the field of social inclusion. The aim of the network is to provide information and analysis enabling the Commission to assess the implementation of the National Action Plans against poverty and social exclusion.

         


A first series of reports is now available, documenting how the NAPs/incl (2001-2003) were implemented and focusing on particular on the major policy measures, the institutional arrangements in place, the mobilization of all actors and possible changes in the context or political priorities

         


The publication of independent expert reports on the Commission website does not imply any endorsement of the report on the part of the Commission, neither on the part of the Members States.

Studies
  • Regional Indicators to reflect social exclusion and poverty

    Aim

    The aim of the study is to identify the appropriate methodologies and strategies for the development of indicators of social exclusion and poverty at regional level.
    Given the likely limited scope for defining monetary poverty indicators at the regional level, attention should probably focus on the non-monetary dimension of social exclusion,e.g. relating to access to essential health services, education, transport, etc. and living and housing conditions, including social participation.

  • How household structures and the roles of women and men affect poverty and social exclusion


    Aim

    This contract is intended to fund analysis of how changes in household structures, informal support structures and the roles of women and men within the household can affect poverty and social exclusion.

    The study should allow answering a number of crucial questions like: how is the role of the family and the extended family changing in providing support to individuals? In particular, do changes in household structures, kinship networks, family support systems and the changing roles of women and men within the household impact on the well-being and social inclusion of household members? Which policies, institutional arrangements and practices meet families' needs? And, finally, what examples of good practices and what lessons can be drawn from the analysis?
