Abstract

This paper proposes a coherent operational framework, grounded in the capability approach, for interpreting mid-life social exclusion in a more comprehensive manner. For this purpose, a longitudinal perspective based on life-stages is adopted to improve understanding of the ways in which social inequality and the transmission of disadvantages throughout an individual's lifespan affect mid-life social exclusion. The paper is relevant to three aspects of current debate on social exclusion. Firstly, it clarifies the added value of longitudinal assessment of the processes entailed in social exclusion and provides an analytical framework for re-conceptualizing such processes using the capability approach as a reference theory. Secondly, it suggests a strategy for identifying pertinent dimensions for assessing mid-life social exclusion. Thirdly, it applies a quantitative technique based on latent variables that has been only partially used for analysing social exclusion previously. To this end, the 1970 British Cohort Study is used to derive empirical indicators and a structural equation model to operationalize the theoretical framework proposed.
