SUMMARY<br />
Social exclusion in Europan Regions: a multilevel latent class model<br />
The aim of this paper is the study of social exclusion in European Union,<br />
focusing on the similarities and the <strong>di</strong>fferences between the <strong>di</strong>fferent regions. We<br />
implemented a multilevel latent class model, which enables to analyse the<br />
multi<strong>di</strong>mensional nature of the concept of social exclusion, identifying <strong>di</strong>fferent<br />
profiles of in<strong>di</strong>viduals accor<strong>di</strong>ng to their perception and/or con<strong>di</strong>tion of exclusion<br />
in <strong>di</strong>fferent domains of life. The multilevel extension allows <strong>di</strong>fferentiating among<br />
the European regions, underlying the existence of <strong>di</strong>fferent concepts of social<br />
exclusion. Data for the analysis come from Eurobarometer survey 56.1 of 2001.<br />
