Social inclusion plan in housing
Introduction
Social inclusion, the opposite of social exclusion, is affirmative action to change the circumstances and habits that lead (or have led) to social exclusion. As stated by the World Bank, social inclusion is the process of improving the ability, opportunity and value of people, disadvantaged by their identity, to participate in society.[1] The World Bank's 2019 World Development Report on the changing nature of work[2] suggests that greater social protection and better investments in human capital improve equality of opportunity and social inclusion.
Definition
In 2014, the World Bank defined social inclusion as the “process of empowering people and groups to participate in society and take advantage of their opportunities. Gives people a voice in the decisions that influence their lives so that they can enjoy equal access to markets, services and political, social and physical spaces”; while ECLAC has defined it as the "process by which equality is achieved, and as a process to close gaps in productivity, skills (education) and employment, labor segmentation, and informality, which turn out to be the main causes of inequality."[3].
Its international interpretation has agreed that this is a concept that is developed beyond systemic poverty, and that is responsible for subtle concepts that include both economic and social problems of a specific social group.[3].
