Occupational Marginalization

Occupational marginalization occurs when individuals are excluded or limited from participating in meaningful work or daily activities that are essential to their well-being and social engagement. This exclusion can result from factors such as discrimination, societal barriers, or lack of resources, leading to reduced opportunities for employment, community involvement, or personal fulfillment. It can negatively impact a person’s identity, autonomy, and overall quality of life by restricting their ability to engage fully in society. Addressing occupational marginalization involves creating inclusive environments and policies that support diverse participation and access to meaningful activities.
