Based on three sample surveys carried out between 1985 and early 1987, notes increasing social polarisation since 1979 (using unemployment, income distribution and health as indicators), growth in the severity of poverty and the inadequacy of social security, and the feminisation of poverty. Presents an index of deprivation based on unemployment, overcrowding, rental housing and car ownership.
