Social Exclusion

See David Batty. Social exclusion: the issue explained


Signs of/factors leading to social exclusion:

  • unemployment, poor skills ==> low incomes
  • poor housing
  • high crime
  • bad health, drug addiction
  • lack of medical care in deprived areas
  • family breakdown
  • high teenage pregnancy rate
  • homelessness
  • high number of young people not in education/training or employment and truancy/school exclusion


Solutions: Government tries to establish institutions that

  • analyse the causes and publish the results in reports.
  • critically evaluate local governments' work to improve efforts to help socially excluded groups
  • help to improve cooperation of departments / institutions to solve the multi-faceted problem
  • initiate programmes to improve health of children, reduce teenage pregnancy and school exclusion and to counsel young people about education and employment
  • coordinate efforts to encourage private investment in deprived communities.
