SOCIAL EXCLUSION – AN OPPOSITE TO THE SUSTAINABLE SOCIETY DEVELOPMENT

Summary/Abstract: The paper analyzes social exclusion as an opposite to the sustainable society development. The sustainable development is the development of a society that creates preconditions for the dignified life of all people on the Planet in the present and in the future. It is realized through economic growth (economic efficiency) and equal opportunities for all people in terms of access and participation in the allocation of all resources and satisfying diverse needs (social equality/justice), taking into account the environment (its protection and preservation). A significant indicator of the problems that the society faces is the existence of poverty and social inequalities, with which social exclusion is associated. It implies ways and mechanisms by which individuals, social groups, communities and/or segments of population are excluded from the wider community (they do not participate in the allocation of social, cultural, economic and interpersonal resources). In other words, it points to poor social integration, poor social contacts, uneven allocation of material and social resources, unequal opportunities for all, poor social solidarity, inadequate application and implementation of norms and standards regarding the protection of human rights. Therefore, in order to provide the prerequisites for the sustainable society development, it is necessary to make a global partnership of all social entities based on global solidarity (consistency of the process of change and use/allocation of resources with the needs of present and future generations, rich and poor countries, direction of human activities towards maintenance and ensuring the ecological, social, economic, political and cultural balance).
