 The excluded individual faces a dead end, there are no
choices, only separation. The process leads to
hopelessness and anger.
 Exclusion is passed on from one generation to another,
from older to younger. Alcohol, drug abuse and violence
intertwine repeatedly. Criminality. A vicious circle is
formed.
 Loneliness, mental problems, depression.
 No language of one’s own.

Not meeting the objectives

 The parents are tired, the everyday contrasting demands
exhaust.
 Feeling of inferiority, weakness, bad self-esteem.
 The child does not manage school or is left behind.
 The objectives and reality do not meet, one can not cope,
no control of own life.
 Feeling discomfort about the economic situation and
society’s competitiveness. No money or consumer activity.
 Insufficient in Finnish language skills.

Not participative 14 %

Not harmonious
12%
 The excluded are not equal actors in the official, dominant
or favoured culture. Economical troubles, unemployment
and inadequate education results in exclusion.
 The problems occur in many fields of life and they tend to
accumulate.
 Equality can also mean the obligation to be the same. The
gifts and differences of people are not considered.
 People in a weaker position get no support or help.
 One can be bullied or harassed in school or at work, one
is not accepted.
