abstract = {This paper develops an axiomatic approach to the measurement of
social exclusion. At the individual level, social exclusion is viewed in
terms of deprivation of the person concerned with respect to different
functionings in the society. At the aggregate level we treat social exclusion
as a function of individual exclusions. The class of subgroup
decomposable social exclusion measures using a set of independent axioms
is identified. We then look at the problem of ranking exclusion
profiles by exclusion dominance principle under certain restrictions.
Finally, applications of decomposable and non-decomposable measures
suggested in the paper using European Union and Italian data are also
considered.},
