International audience ; Stakeholders involved in social housing and social integration are numerous (governmental services, non-profit organizations, volunteers, local authorities, etc.). These multiple actors, with heterogeneous resources (coming partly from the government, partly from other institutions) have different areas of intervention, which does not always make actions effective, the ultimate goal being obviously to increase social utility or societal utility created. In order to both increase knowledge about housing and social integration, and improve coordination between stakeholders, the French government designed and made available to local actors a methodology for a shared territorial diagnosis, called "360° diagnosis". In this communication, we present two case studies corresponding to the deployment of this tool in two regions. We propose a critical analysis of the implementation of this tool, by focusing on its uses and effects, this next to its philosophy and its initial intentions.

The purpose of the Social Inclusion Monitor is to report on progress towards the national social target for poverty reduction, which is to reduce consistent poverty to 4 per cent by 2016 and to 2 per cent or less by 2020. It also reports on the Irish contribution to the Europe 2020 target, and on poverty trends for children and jobless households, for which specific sub-targets are to be set by Government. The Monitor is prepared by the Social Inclusion Division in the Department of Social Protection, as part of its remit to monitor poverty trends. It is primarily based on the findings of the 2011 Survey on Income and Living Conditions, undertaken by the Central Statistics Office. The income reference period for the survey was January 2010 to December 2011.

"Worldwide child and youth poverty remain the biggest barrier to achieving a better life in adulthood. Progress in lifting children out of poverty in the last decades has been slow and limited in the developing world, while the recent global economic crisis has exacerbated child poverty, youth unemployment, and social exclusion in many developed countries. This book critically examines the long-term consequences of growing up poor, the close linkages between deprivation and human rights violations in childhood and adolescence, and their effects on labor market entry and future career in a number of developing and developed countries. Drawing on multiple disciplinary perspectives, it makes a forceful case for the eradication of child poverty to take center stage in the Sustainable Development Goals." --

The annual Social Inclusion Forum is a national event, at which people affected by poverty and social exclusion, as well as the community organisations representing them, come together with officials from relevant Government Departments, the Minister for Social Protection and the Minister of State with responsibility for Social Inclusion. The theme of the 2021 Forum was "Implementing the Roadmap for Social Inclusion: reducing poverty and improving social inclusion".

The current U.S. poverty measure is outdated and has failed to keep up with public consensus on the minimum amount of income needed to "get along" in the United States in the 21st Century. One potential approach to revising the measure, based on recommendations made by a National Academy of Sciences panel in 1995, improves in some ways on the current measure, but has serious limitations of its own that require further research before it is adopted. Moreover, the NAS approach results in a poverty measure that would remain far below the public's get-along level. To address these problems, the incoming Administration should adopt a "tiered" poverty and economic inclusion measure that is modeled on the child poverty measure adopted in 2003 by the United Kingdom.
