Dynamics of Poverty

Poverty and social exclusion have recently been measured in a major British study - the Poverty and
Social Exclusion Survey (PSE). This is one of the largest poverty surveys ever carried out in Britain.
Many people were involved in this work and this paper describes the combined efforts of researchers
at the University of Bristol, a team at the University of York and at the Universities of
Loughborough and Heriot Watt. The survey itself was carried out by the Office for National
Statistics - in particular, the Omnibus Team and staff involved in the General Household Survey
(GHS). The survey is of a particularly high quality because it was carried out as a follow-up to the
GHS which has the highest response rates of any government social survey.
