Social Effects of Economic Crisis: Risk of Exclusion. An Overview of the European Context.

It only can be achieved from a global perspective, where social, economic and environmental issues are all key factors for achieving the goal. This paper is focused on the importance of social sustainability and, as a consequence, the importance of avoiding each and everyone’s risk of poverty and exclusion as due to the recent crisis effects. Nevertheless, this crisis resulted in higher inequalities and put a lot of people at risk of poverty, even in “developed” countries. Through a statistical and econometric analysis, some of the key factors to which the European Union should aim to avoid unsustainable scenarios are analysed. A regression, factorial and cluster analysis is carried out and this leads to conclude that the labour market is key in promoting economic policies in order to achieve social sustainability.engAtribución 4.0 Internacional (CC BY)http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/es/Social sustainabilityRisk of povertyRisk of exclusionSocial protectionEconomic crisisjournal articleopen accesshttps://doi.org/10.3390/su11020336
