Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Action to reduce poverty and promote social inclusion is a key long-term objective for the Scottish Executive. But how much progress has Scotland and its devolved government been able to make towards its declared goals? Monitoring poverty and social exclusion in Scotland 2004 updates the last Scotland report, published in 2002, and provides an independent record of relevant trends over the past seven years. Compiled by the team responsible for the annual series of studies covering Great Britain, the choice of subject areas in this report reflects the Scottish context. Data have been assembled for a range of different indicators covering low income, employment, education, health, quality of life and social cohesion. Each section uses graphs and maps to illustrate differences relating to social class, age, gender, ethnicity and local authority area.
