Social exclusion is a multidimensional, relational process of denying opportunities for social participation, severing social bonds, and impairing social solidarity. Exclusion may be based upon racial, ethnic, linguistic, caste, religious, and other cultural identities as well as upon age, gender, sexuality, disability, poverty, unemployment, socioeconomic conditions, and place of residence dimensions that tend to overlap, intersect, and accumulate over time. Social exclusion has interrelated negative consequences for both the excluded individuals and society as a whole. As a social relationship, exclusion may be deliberate or institutional, face to face or impersonal. Regardless, it involuntarily restricts one's fulfillment of normatively prescribed social roles. Social inclusion does not necessarily remedy social exclusion. Both terms are used in sociological and policy discourse.
