Social inclusion involves the production of conditions in which individuals or particular groups of individuals have an equal opportunity to participate in society. The research on social inclusion may relate to issues, policy and programs to identify and/or assist those who may be, or who are at risk of being, excluded from the social and economic benefits of education, training or employment.
