| Abstract: | “Outsiders”, the “underclass”, the “working poor”, the “socially excluded”, the “disadvantaged” are all terms that point to what is deemed to be a key characteristic of
post-industrial societies, i.e. increasing inequalities and the growth of a group of
people who are at risk of finding themselves at a permanent disadvantage in the
labour market and in other spheres of social activity. This article aims at providing an
overview of the empirical and theoretical literature on the growth of a population of
outsiders in European societies and in America, a development that has been labelled
“dualisation.” Throughout the paper, we will study three potential dimensions of
exclusion. First, we look at individuals’ position in the labour market. Second, we
study individuals’ status in terms of social protection and, finally, we examine which
effect the first two dimensions may have on individuals’ political behaviour, attitudes
and capacity to be represented by political organisations. |
