All countries must place emphasis on balanced and sustainable development that also takes into

account human needs centered development. Improvements in human standards are very important

and it is for that reason that development is no longer measured only in terms of monetary but also

in terms to quality to elite enjoyed by the citizens to the country (by the human development index).

Toward has given a comprehensive definition of development, which takes into account an

economic approach and a human needs approach, which is the ideal way of development. The

relationship between social exclusion and poverty is not always clear, however it is important to emphasis

that social exclusion has not replaced poverty as a concept, but rather includes poverty as part of a wider

understanding of the process, and thus that social exclusion is not just a ‘new form poverty’. Social exclusion

has been known to be ambivalent, sometimes is can be ‘identified as an effect of poverty.

social exclusion has not replaced poverty but it does include poverty, however it is important to remember

not all poor people are social excluded. The horrible reality is that income inequality and poverty appears as

if it is here to stay. There have been many criticisms of the social exclusion as a new concept, because many

feel that it will shield away the harshness of reality, and thus will create more problems in the future.

However, when considering all the facts; poverty may be a cause of social exclusion, however if poverty is

linked then indirectly so deprivation. In the case where we alleviate all elements combined to create poverty,

then social exclusion will still exist. Due to the multi-dimensional aspect of the definition, sub-cultures are

excluded based on other socially constructed issues such as age, ethnicity, race and gender. So until all issues

are alleviated, some more drastically than others. Then Britain as a society will continue to exclude certain

groups based on many different aspects of their life.
