Stimulate social inclusion

Challenge context

Social inclusion in rural areas is not simply about poverty or disadvantage, it is about who gets to stay, who is heard, and who can fully participate incommunity life.

This transition theme

Across the territories covered by this transition choice, the people most affected by exclusion (young adults, immigrants, marginalised groups) are also those least visible in the data that shapes local and regional policy. Inclusion is rarely a single, isolated problem : it shows up differently depending on who is at risk of being left behind and why. Understanding these different dimensions requires data and methods that go well beyond standard statistics.

What it takes to make rural territories genuinely inclusive places?

• Transition choice: stimulate social inclusion
• Broader transition: socio-economic & demographic transition
