'This important collection provides an up-to-date assessment of poverty, social exclusion and inequality in high and middle income countries. Using a range of cutting-edge methodological techniques, comparative analysis and single country case studies, the chapters provide valuable insights into the role of social security in poverty alleviation and the reduction of social inequalities.' Professor Michael Noble, University of Oxford 'The essays in this timely volume present an important contribution to our understanding of differences and trends in inequality, poverty and exclusion and the factors that drive them, especially in these highly uncertain times. The book is essential reading for researchers and policy makers interested in both national and international experiences with social security programs in a dynamic, diverse and ever-changing field' Professor Timothy Smeeding, Director Institute for Research on Poverty, University of Wisconsin-Madison
