Webinar - Barne®-Hartu Project Presentation

Social exclusion is receiving increasing attention in the field of gerontology. This interest comes from a combination of demographic ageing patterns, current social and economic instability and the susceptibility of these age cohorts to growing inequalities. The BARNE(r)HARTU project aimed at a multidimensional approach to social exclusion in old age. The general objective was to carry out a diagnosis of the situation and needs of different realities in terms of exclusion and ageing, taking into account the gender perspective. Specifically, the aim was to find out about the situation of elderly people in relation to relevant variables related to social exclusion, and to investigate how excluded people age in different situations in Gipuzkoa. In addition, proposals for action have been identified for the identification of formulas for care and accompaniment in the various processes of exclusion.
