What is Social exclusion? Social exclusion is a process whereby certain individuals are pushed to the edge of society and prevented from participating fully by virtue of their poverty or lack of basic competencies and lifelong learning opportunities or as a result of discrimination. This distances them from job, income and education opportunities as well as social and community networks and activities. They have little access to power and decision-making bodies and thus often feel powerless and unable to take control of the decisions that affect their day-to-day lives. Put simply, social exclusion is the combination of policies, systems, structures, attitudes and behaviours which result in some individuals being sidelined, left out or left behind. Social exclusion can affect all age groups but it demands particular attention from the youth field because it produces deep and long-term damage to the living conditions, social and economic participation, emotional life, and health status of young people. It also contributes to the intergenerational transmission of poverty. When young people experience insecurity in terms of living standards, political or social isolation, feelings of estrangement and unhealthy lifestyles these can aggravate pre-existing conditions of social exclusion. This results in a vicious cycle where socially excluded young people are in even more danger of suffering from additional material deprivation, social and emotional marginalization, and health issues, which in turn expose them to more serious risks of exclusion. #volunteer4inclusion #ivd2019 #unv_india #vforceindia #volunteer4change #socialexclusion #poverty #religion #disability #gender #discrimination #peerpressure #job #racism #youth #lgbt https://www.instagram.com/p/B5gCWCpBX3u/?igshid=xi787ltrlcws
