abstract: 'The concept of social exclusion has become a central rganizing, concept
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
in social policy research. Indeed ``social exclusion{''''} has displaced
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
many of the terms formerly in use, such as ``inequality{''''},
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
``deprivation{''''} and ``poverty{''''}. Social exclusion is a
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
multidimensional concept embracing economic, social and political
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
deprivations, that alerts us to the significance of social identity,
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
culture, agency and, ultimately, power relations. In contrast to some
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
earlier research traditions, the perspective of social exclusion draws
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
our attention to how people can be ``shut out of society{''''} by their
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
inability to participate in customary leisure activities. The ability to
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
participate in leisure is the product of both access to leisure goods
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
and services, and a sufficient quantity of leisure time. An analysis of
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Australian Household Expenditure Survey data shows that the consumption
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
of leisure goods and services is powerfully determined by income.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Consequently, low income can lead to exclusion from leisure
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
participation. However, analysis of Time Use Survey data also shows that
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
access to time for leisure participation is most powerfully determined
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
by hours of employment, family responsibilities and gender After
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
controlling for working hours, household income has no significant
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
effect on. available leisure time. A leisure-time poverty line, based on
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
half-median leisure time, is used to show which groups are most excluded
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
from leisure by time constraints. The paper concludes by considering a
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
range of policies to alleviate social exclusion from leisure
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
participation.'
