Abstract
Poverty discourse is characterised by the exclusion of people with experience of poverty. This has shaped the nature of both debate and policy responses. This discussion looks at the reasons for this ex clusion, the effects it has had and makes the case for an inclusive poverty discourse as the basis for the reconceptualisation of poverty and the development of more effective strategies to deal with it.Keywords
