The social exclusion of youth is a complex phenomenon affecting multiple spheres of a young person’s life including education, employment, life outside school and the workplace and civic engagement. Drawing on data from the Survey, this report provides a glimpse into different ways in which youth are excluded from society. The findings affirm that socioeconomic status and gender form major barriers to youth’s social inclusion, which at times is compounded by one’s affiliation with a certain ethnic group, religion or caste. Failure to create inclusive spaces for young people has numerous negative consequences, including substance abuse and crime.
