Social Exclusion
u Unequal participation of individuals in societyu Gagnon & Saillant (2009, p. 2)
“an intolerable situation or an unfair condition, the sidelining of individuals and private groups of their rights, security, access to certain goods and full participation in society; [recalling] the existence of borders and divisions in a society that claims to abolish them [...]”
u Link between social exclusion and mobility:u Transport system can help strengthen social exclusion
through exorbitant costs in time or money for vulnerable groups
u Lack of access
