The paper presents data on social inclusion and exclusion based on three waves of the Danish Level of Living Survey. The first part of the paper exclusively analyses data from the 2000 survey. Four main arenas are in focus: 1) economy, 2) social relations, 3) political participation and 4) leisure time activities. The second part of the paper is based on longitudinal data. The movement in and out of social inclusion and exclusion is followed from 1976 to 2000. Data on the relationship between inclusion and exclusion and the mortality rate within different subgroups in the population are also analysed. The main findings of the paper are that in the year 2000 it is only a minor part of the Danish population that is socially excluded and that social exclusion has been reduced in the period from 1976 to 2000. The findings based on the data from 2000 are in general consistent with the findings based on ECHP data.
