In the poorest group, the differences between aspirations of expectations claimed by individuals with different levels of perceived exclusion are small. An alternative explanation is that the gap between aspirations of expectations could be revealed by using a circumstantial indicator, which is consistent with the distinction proposed earlier between the normative and cognitive components of expectations. Thus, given suitable opportunities, the most underprivileged should change their expectations and act accordingly. These figures are not comparable with those of previous years because of a change sd in the household survey. Similarly, figures for 2001 refer to the fourth quarter, whereas those the 2005 to 2007 relate to the entire year.
