Social exclusion in El Salvador

Abstract

In Europe, social exclusion is defined as the inability to participate in economic, cultural and political life.
For the International Labor Organization (ILO) it is a multidimensional phenomenon that involves three areas: a) economic, when the individual does not have access to the market and social services, and is deprived of the material that their basic needs require, b) political and institutional, when the individual lacks the civil and political rights that guarantee their citizen participation; and, c) socio-cultural, when the individual does not know the identities and particularities of gender, ethnicity, religion or the preferences of individuals or social groups.
