Abstract
Summary: In this paper we deal with poverty and social exclusion of internally displaced persons (IDPs) in Serbia. This descriptive analysis is mostly based on LSMS conducted in 2007.Some indicators are derived from 2009 Survey on Social Inclusion, conducted by UNDP Serbiafor Human Development Report. Several aspects of social inclusion are presented: access to basic personal documentation, their position at labor market, their financial poverty and material deprivation, as well as access to different social services (education, health care,employment assistance). In general, the analysis shows that IDPs have been well integrated regarding health care and education. There are still significant problems with housing conditions, and situation with employment and poverty is very bad. The worst situation is with Roma IDPs who face multidimensional exclusion and severe poverty.
