Just within a few decades, the global dream of building a 'middle class society' has vanished almost everywhere, giving way to an emerging global nightmare: 'social exclusion'.

However, even these two countries have suffered increasing disillusion since the 1980s. The main concern of these countries is now social exclusion.
