Conceptual Analysis on Social Exclusion

Summary/Abstract: Social exclusion highlights multidimensional sociological aspects with profound implications. Essentially, social exclusion is caused by poverty, deprivation and unemployment. The main forms of social exclusion are based on cases concerning human race, nationality, religion, social status, ethnicity, political affiliation, belief, gender, sexual orientation, age, educational status, language, disability and other criteria. More generally, social exclusion is a relatively new concept but the discriminatory implications of social exclusion have significant negative effects and accentuate social inequalities. Social exclusion affects particular individuals, social groups or even communities due to the lack of normal and adequate conditions which involves access to health care services, education system, social services, employment status, legal rights, technological innovation, civic life, natural resources, housing, democratic rights, economic and financial environment.
