Greetings
Although I am no expert in social exclusion, I am aware that in cultures
in which I work currently in Afghanistan, social exclusion definitely
exists. Measures are complex, as there is on one level social and
political groupings into which people are born (political groupings also
heavily influence access to socio-economic status). On another level,
social groupings are frequently crossed where there is a
"connection"...this connection might be the "wassiter" inside the
institution who gets you a job (fulfilling a previous obligation to you or
your family or just taking your first months salary), or it might be a
similar sort of person who is on the gate at the hospital who normally
charges anyone who enters for treatment but if you are "connected" you
might get in either quicker or cheaper. The point is that in many
cultures similar to here, the aspect of negotiation and
payment/repayment of social obligations changes the definition of "social"
and "social exclusion". SO to define who is socially excluded there should
also be definition of the "back routes" to inclusion...
Warm Regards from a cold climate
