ABSTRACT What factors underlie the exclusion of some poor households from welfare programmes? This article analyses the question through a comparative examination of households’ demographic characteristics, social capital and communities’ spatial (dis)advantage as determinants of enrolment in three social programmes in Andhra Pradesh, India. The main findings indicate that traditionally marginalised demographic groups do not experience programme exclusion significantly more than other groups, but that households’ social-network capital and communities’ spatial advantage increase households’ programme inclusion. The importance of social capital for programme inclusion wanes, however, in spatially more advantaged communities.

通过被排除在社会计划之外而使贫困永久化：安得拉邦的教训

摘要哪些因素导致一些贫困家庭无法参加福利计划？本文通过对印度安得拉邦三个社会项目入学的家庭人口特征，社会资本和社区空间（劣势）优势进行比较研究，分析了这一问题。主要研究结果表明，传统上处于边缘地位的人口群体不会比其他群体遭受更多的计划排斥，但是家庭的社交网络资本和社区的空间优势会增加家庭的计划纳入。但是，在空间上更有利的社区中，社会资本对于计划纳入的重要性正在下降。
