Abstract

Recently emergent in both research and popular literature is the notion that a significant group of people in the industrialised societies are excluded from economic and social life. Education is often seen as a key factor in this process. Research shows that people with low levels of formal education are disproportionately represented among those excluded from participation in the labour market. Other research, in turn, suggests the loss of paid work can lead to exclusion from family and community life. These ideas are explored in a New Zealand context using data from the 1996 census.
