Understanding the role of social exclusion in progress towards MDGs for the excluded groups

Nidhi S. Sabharwal

No 8, Southern Voice Occasional Paper from Southern Voice

Abstract: The paper focuses on discrimination, inequality and poverty. It proposes to look deeper into the reasons for the gap between discriminated groups and ‘the rest’ to get some recommendations. The poor are not uniformly disadvantaged. Across most MDGs, the situation of the excluded groups is significantly worse than that of others. While, much of the poverty, hunger and deprivation of indigenous and excluded groups is the result of factors which are common to all poor, including those from excluded groups.
