Age
Half of Australians aged over 65 years experience social exclusion.
In measuring social exclusion we found that 50% of people aged over 65 years experience social exclusion, compared to 15% to 25% for other age groups.
Deep social exclusion is more likely to be experienced by adults older than 50 years, at around 5% in 2010.
After eight years of decline for all age groups, from 2008 increased for most age groups, especially among those above 65 and those between 15 and 24 years of age.
The graph immediately below shows all social exclusion, which is the total of marginal social exclusion and deep social exclusion. The second graph shows deep exclusion only.
