how do you distinguish between minorities and marginalisation
Answers
The difference between minority and marginalization is that marginalization is the process of becoming relegated to the fringe of society based on socio-cultural or economic factors while minority is a sociological group based on demographic factors such as ethnicity or wealth.
Minorities:-
Minority, a culturally, ethnically, or racially distinct group that coexists with but is subordinate to a more dominant group. As the term is used in the social sciences, this subordinacy is the chief defining characteristic of a minority group. As such, minority status does not necessarily correlate to population.
Marginalisation:-
Marginalisation describes both a process, and a condition, that prevents individuals or groups from full participation in social, economic and political life. As a condition, it can prevent individuals from actively participating.
