Socially and Economically Disadvantaged Individuals

Socially and economically disadvantaged individuals are those who face barriers that limit their opportunities and access to resources due to factors like race, ethnicity, income, or social status. Social disadvantage might involve discrimination or lack of representation, while economic disadvantage relates to limited financial means, unemployment, or poverty. Together, these disadvantages can hinder their ability to succeed in education, employment, and community participation, often requiring targeted support or programs to promote fairness and equal opportunity.
