Question
What does ‘social exclusion’ mean?
✓
Answer
According to this concept, poverty must be seen in terms of the poor having to live only in a poor surrounding with other poor people, and excluded from enjoying social equality with better-off people in a better surrounding.
Socal exclusion can be both a cause as well as a consequence of poverty in the rural sense.
It is a process through which individuals or groups are excluded from facilities, benefits and opportunities that others enjoy. An example is the prevalence of the caste system in India in which people belonging to certain castes are excluded from equal opportunities.
