本文探讨是否，以及在何种程度上，贫困与其他类型的福利问题，并在更大的角度来看，是否可以理解的情况下，社会排斥。在分析中使用了两种不同的贫困衡量标准----收入贫困和剥夺贫困----以及17个福利问题指标。研究表明，收入贫困与其他类型的福利问题之间的关系相当微弱，即最常用的贫困衡量标准似乎歧视了一部分人口，他们没有遭受我们通常认为贫困造成的那种问题。长期贫困，确定那些最经常不得不放弃商品和服务消费的人，确实与其他类型的福利问题密切相关。因此，生活在贫困条件下的人确实存在福利问题，尽管收入贫困措施并不总是涵盖这部分人口。最后的分析表明，最有可能聚集在一起的福利问题类型是剥夺贫困、经济不稳定、失业、心理压力和健康问题。从理论的角度来看，这些类型的累积福利问题是否可以被视为社会排斥的指标，这一点更值得怀疑。
This article investigates whether, and to what degree, poverty is linked to other types of welfare problems and, in larger perspective, whether the situation can be understood in terms of social exclusion. Two different measures of poverty - income poverty and deprivation poverty - and 17 indicators of welfare problems were used in the analysis. It was shown that income poverty was rather weakly related to other types of welfare problems, i.e. the most commonly used measure of poverty seems to discriminate a section of the population that does not suffer from the kinds of problems we usually assume that poverty causes. Deprivation poverty, identifying those who most often had to forgo consumption of goods and services, did correlate strongly with other types of welfare problems. Hence, people living under poor conditions do suffer from welfare problems even though this section of the population is not always captured by income poverty measures. The final analysis showed that the types of welfare problems that were most likely to cluster were deprivation poverty, economic precariousness, unemployment, psychological strain and health problems. Whether these types of accumulated welfare problems, from a theoretical perspective, can be seen as indicators of social exclusion is more doubtful.
