|
15 October 2008

Participation in social, economic and civic life should be open to everybody. It is important to the wellbeing and prosperity of individuals, families and communities. Exclusion can mean loss of access to services, to supportive networks and to opportunities for skills and jobs, leading to poverty, poor health status, and low productivity. Social exclusion is not only a social issue but an economic issue as well.
Increasing social inclusion requires a joined-up approach that cuts across policy departments.
