Handbook of Social Inclusion

Beschreibung

This ambitious reference work focuses on social inclusion in health and social care and offers a good understanding of matters that include or exclude people in society.
Social inclusion stems from the ideal of an inclusive society where each individual can feel valued, differences between individuals are respected, needs of each person are met, and everyone can live with dignity as “the norm”. Social inclusion can explain why some individuals are situated at the centre of society or at its margins, as well as the consequences of the social layer in society. Closely related to the concept of social inclusion is social exclusion, which is marked by unequal access to capabilities, rights, and resources. It engages at the individual, household, community, nation, and global levels. Social exclusion renders some individuals or groups to social vulnerability.
This comprehensive reference work covers a wide range of issues pertaining tothe social inclusion paradigm, including:

• Theories that are linked to social inclusion and exclusion in research and practices
• Methodological and ethical considerations
• Social inclusion and social exclusion: Population groups, lived experiences, and issues
• Inclusive research methods that enhance social inclusion including participatory research
• Social inclusion programs and interventions
• The role of health and social care for promoting social inclusion
