Políticas públicas para evitar a exclusión social en España

Abstract

Among the objectives set by the Europe 2020 Strategy, one of the most important ones is the reduction of the number of individuals suffering from poverty and social exclusion by at least twenty million. In order to achieve this purpose, Spain has articulated a specific recommendation in the National Reform Programme, as well as several national action plans for social inclusion pursuing this goal through socio-occupational inclusion, the establishment of a benefit system, and the provision of essential basic services. This work presents a descriptive analysis of poverty and social exclusion in Spain. Thus, we identify new vulnerable social groups and the areas where they are affected through the AROPE indicator, which allows us to study the excluded group composition by age, sex and occupation. Finally, this work studies the effects of social policies on social exclusion and inequality, which partially explains the subject of extra-taxation and what the exclusive factors in the main taxes are.
