BETWEEN THEORY AND PRACTICE IN THE FIGHT AGAINST SOCIAL EXCLUSION

Summary/Abstract: THE GENERAL TREND WHEN IT COMES TO SOCIAL EXCLUSION, IS TO DIRECT THE ATTENTION TOA PERSON'S STATUS ON THE LABOR MARKET. IT IS TRUE THAT THE EXCLUSION FROM THE LABORMARKET HAS EFFECTS ON SEVERAL PLANS: MATERIAL DEPRIVATION, HOUSING, LIMITED ACCESSTO HEALTHCARE, EDUCATION, SOCIALIZATION, BUT JUST THE EFFECTS OF THIS DISCRIMINATIONARE THOSE THAT CONFER "POWER" OF THE CONCEPT OF SOCIAL EXCLUSION. WE CONTINUE TORESEARCH THE SUBJECT OF SOCIAL EXCLUSION BECAUSE, DESPITE THE EXISTENCE OFNATIONAL PLANS AND STRATEGIES FOR REDUCING EXCLUSION, THIS PHENOMENON STILLPERSISTS.WE CONSIDER THAT GREATER FOCUS IS ONLY ON SOME OF THE AREAS OF EXISTING NATIONALSTRATEGIES AND PLANS, SUCH AS QUALIFICATION / REQUALIFICATION OF PERSONS. INPRACTICE, WE FIND SEVERAL PROJECTS / INITIATIVES THAT HAVE AS PURPOSE THEQUALIFICATION / REQUALIFICATION OF PERSONS BELONGING TO VULNERABLE GROUPS, ANDFAR LESS INITIATIVES IN TERMS OF SCHOOLING / ADULT LITERACY. WITHOUT FINANCIALINCENTIVES, AS IN THE CASE OF QUALIFICATION / REQUALIFICATION COURSES, PROGRAMS LIKE"THE SECOND CHANCE", ARE SOMETIMES DOOMED TO FAILURE, STILL FROM INCIPIENT PHASE. IN ORDER TO COMBAT EFFECTIVELY THE PHENOMENON OF SOCIAL EXCLUSION, WE MUSTIDENTIFY THE AREAS IN WHICH IS NEEDED THE CHANGE OR THE ADAPTATION OF THE WORKINGMETHODS, OR THE VERY AREAS NEEDED TO BE ADDRESSED, IMPLEMENTATION OF PROJECTS /INITIATIVES IN AN INTEGRATED SYSTEM FOR GREATER EFFICIENCY.
