INCLUSIVITY AND SOCIAL CONSEQUENCES OF THE PANDEMIC

Abstract

Discrimination of certain social groups has long been the cause of not only social conflicts, but also an incentive to fight against it. During the pandemic, the number of citizens subjected to discrimination has increased, which requires a deeper and more conscious consideration of the problems of involving the general population in the fight against discrimination. The elderly, the disabled, women, children, and the homeless are often discriminated. But in the context of a pandemic, it is necessary to rethink this issue taking into account new factors. Inclusiveness at the international level had long been a global trend that needs to be developed in the context of a pandemic. The article deals with the examples of discrimination of older people, the possibilities of developing inclusion of the elderly and disabled.
