Work as a Means to Reduce Social Exclusion, Marginalization and Poverty

Abstract

Among the most pressing contemporary problems, poverty, which is the result of social exclusion and marginalization, should be mentioned. There can be various reasons for this phenomenon (systemic, structural, cultural and individual). One of the side-effecs of globalization, that can hardly be accepted, is the rise in unemployment and the growing disparities in living standards. This also limits your abilities to equalize life chances. Holy Father Francis strongly opposes economic exclusion and social inequality, because it is directed against the fundamental right to life. Economic exclusion and social inequality lead to the most inhuman treatment of other people and contributes to their total rejection. Concern for their integral development, that tends to come out of this vicious circle, should be the primary task of every human being. Dr. Wanda Błeńska is an example of a person who inspires you to seek ways to help the poorest.
