| Description |
In the context of the struggle against poverty (a little later poverty and social exclusion), that run in European Union in the last decade of 20th century, the concept of social exclusion has become a cult. Great attention is paid to the reduction of social exclusion and ensuring of social cohesion at the level of European Union. That is seen in establishment of special institutions and the increase of number of publications on this issue. The countries of European Union that have made progress in this field have appropriate national administrative and scientific research institutions on the issues of social exclusion and social cohesion.Lithuania, not long ago seeking for the membership in EU, now has become one. So as a member country it had to assume certain obligations due to poverty and social exclusion. And social exclusion more often becomes a keystone concept while creating measures of social policy in Lithuania.But the remarks of critics, that social exclusion is only a new form of speechmaking that has no connection to real life, are not without a reason. And it shows in everyday communication that it is not clear to people what is the social exclusion.The purpose of the article is to critically reveal what the social exclusion means in the contemporary Lithuania context and how this concept is used in the country. The investigation is based on the analysis of academic literature, strategical documents and research reports. In the article are discussed not only ideas of Lithuanian researchers on this topic but that of European researchers too.
Europos Sąjungos šalyse XX a. dešimtame dešimtmetyje įsibėgėjusios kovos su skurdu (kiek vėliau – su skurdu ir socialine atskirtimi) kontekste sąvoka „socialinė atskirtis“ yra tapusi beveik kultine. Europos Sąjungos lygmeniu socialinės atskirties mažinimui ir socialinės sanglaudos stiprinimui skiriama labai daug dėmesio. Tai liudija ir specializuotų institucijų įsteigimas, ir publikacijų šia tema gausėjimas. Šioje srityje pažengusios Europos Sąjungos šalys turi ir atitinkamas nacionalines ne tik administravimo, bet ir mokslinių tyrimų institucijas socialinės atskirties ir sanglaudos klausimams spręsti. Lietuva, siekusi narystės ES, o dabar jau tapusi ES nare, kaip valstybė narė taip pat turėjo prisiimti tam tikrus nacionalinius įsipareigojimus skurdo ir socialinės atskirties atžvilgiu. Tad ir Lietuvoje socialinė atskirtis vis dažniau tampa kertine sąvoka kuriant socialinės politikos priemones. |
