Description

In this paper, we examine the effects of the current state of social exclusion. We focus particularly on the relationship between individual social networks and their effects on reducing social exclusion. To tackle these issues, first, we revise and develop our original 2013 simulation model Secondly, we show the three dimensions of social exclusion as represented in our new simulation model and how these dimensions are passed on to future generations. Thirdly, we examine the relationship between a lack of social connection and the strength of social exclusion and present our results, which show that: 1) the degree of social participation is positively correlated with the number of links for each agent; 2) the gap between agents who have the same number of links is widened at a later point of simulation; 3) the degree of social participation is not correlated with the betweeness centrality of each agent in the random network model, and 4) the degree of social participation is correlated with the betweeness centrality of each agent in the threshold model.
