Is the social disadvantage and relegation to the fringe of society. It is a term used widely in Europe and was first used in France. [1] It is used across disciplines including education, sociology, psychology, politics and economics.
Social exclusion is the process in which individuals or people are systematically blocked from (or denied full access to) various rights, opportunities and resources that are normally available to members of a different group, and which are fundamental to social integration and observance of human rights within that particular group [2] (e.g., housing, employment, healthcare, civic engagement, democratic participation, and due process).
Alienation or disenfranchisement resulting from social exclusion can be connected to a person's social class, race, skin color, religious affiliation, ethnic origin, educational status, childhood relationships, [3] living standards, or appearance. Such exclusionary forms of discrimination may also apply to people with a disability, minorities, LGBT people, drug users, [4] institutional care leavers, [5] the elderly and the young. Anyone who appears to deviate in any way from perceived norms of a population may thereby become subject to coarse or subtle forms of social exclusion.
The outcome of social exclusion is that affected individuals or communities are prevented from participating fully in the economic, social, and political life of the society in which they live. [6]
