Poverty and Social Exclusion
Poverty and social exclusion refer to the interconnected issues where individuals lack sufficient resources to meet basic needs, such as food, housing, and healthcare, and are marginalized from participating fully in society. Poverty may be economic, but social exclusion encompasses factors like discrimination, lack of access to education, and limited social networks. Together, they create barriers that prevent people from achieving a decent quality of life, leading to cycles of disadvantage that are hard to break. Addressing these issues involves improving economic opportunities and fostering inclusive communities that support everyone's participation in society.
