Thank you for the pieces of advice!

My cases are related with a usual 'disadvantage group' of people. The idea behind this analysis is showing the existence of different (multiple) disadvantages within this 'disadvantage group'.
 
I have around 8 variables that are demographics (continuous + categorical (nominal) + binary (e.g. renting/not renting)

10 variables that are related with employment (continuous categorical and binary); and

8 variables that are related with claiming benefits (nominal - two options: claiming or not claiming a particular benefit)  

Does cluster analysis make sense for my project?

Thank you

Silvia
