Dropping off the Edge 2021

For more than 20 years, Jesuit Social Services has collaborated with researchers to examine complex disadvantage in communities around the country, releasing a series of reports now generally known as Dropping off the Edge.

Dropping off the Edge 2021, the fifth in the series, builds an unparalleled picture of complex and entrenched disadvantage in Australia. The research was conducted by the University of Canberra, and is released by Jesuit Social Services together with our Centre for Just Places – a centre for place-based research and action which seeks to build local capacity to ensure all Australian communities have opportunities to flourish.
