Young (2000) defines marginalization as exclusion of an individual from meaningful participation in society, in part because he or she is unable to participate in the labour market. Marginalization has the potential to result in severe material deprivation, and in its most extreme form can exterminate groups. Groups such as individuals living with disabilities (physical or mental), women, racial minorities, Aboriginal communities, elderly individuals, single mothers, and homosexuals may all face certain forms of marginalization due to dominant discourse(s) within the structures of society (Mullaly, 2007).
