Question

would you agree with the statement that economic marginalisation and social marginalisation are interlinked? why?

Answer 1

Yes, economic and social marginalisations are interlinked. This can be seen in the following points:

Social marginalisation is based on religion, culture, tradition, dress etc. If a particular group is different from the rest, then it will lead to religious differences.

Religious differences prevent minorities from getting jobs, allowing their children to go to school or renting houses for themselves, which in turn leads to these marginalised communities not being able to earn enough. This then creates economic marginalisation.

Answer 2

Answer:

Social marginalisation and economic marginalisation are interlinked. Social marginalization forces a social group out of the mainstream, resulting in lack of opportunities for skill development and education. This means that the people from marginalized sections will not have proper access to quality healthcare, which in turn means that a child from the marginalized section does not develop into an financially stable adult, who otherwise is capable enough to ensure a better income. Thus, the individual who is left behind in socio-economic development, also become economically marginalized.
