Study Notes

  • Social exclusion occurs when certain groups of people are disadvantaged in some way, typically due to a combination of factors such as unemployment, financial hardship, race, gender, etc.

  • Social exclusion can have a negative impact on the wellbeing of those affected, leading to poverty, social isolation, and a decreased sense of self-worth.

  • There are three dimensions to social exclusion: economic deprivation, spatial deprivation, and identity-based exclusion.

  • Identity-based exclusion is the most common type, as it affects groups of people who are defined by shared cultural practices and identities (such as caste, ethnicity, and religion).

  • Social exclusion can also affect individuals who are defined by a single shared characteristic (such as gender, disability, or HIV status).
