Article Synopsis
- - Social exclusion (SE) is the process by which individuals or groups are cut off from mainstream society, leading to worse health outcomes, especially among older adults in Balkan states.
- - The study identifies four distinct types of SE through data from the European Quality of Life Survey, with varying severity and associated risk factors: low SE risk (50%), material exclusion (23%), material and social exclusion (4%), and multidimensional exclusion (23%).
- - Findings suggest that lower education, poorer health, and decreased social trust increase the risk of experiencing SE, indicating the need for targeted policies that consider these variations and their impacts to effectively reduce SE in society.
