In this study, the aim is to understand social exclusion of urban youth living in the most disadvantaged districts of Ankara. In this study, social exclusion is accepted as a process of long term non-participation in the economic, civic, and social spheres which integrate the society in which an individual lives. Therefore, the definition of social exclusion centered on the notion of 'lack of integration' is accepted as a background of the study. In this respect, social exclusion is accepted as an endpoint in a irreversible process of being placed in the margins of society. Some major conclusions of the research are that there is not one single and uniform experience of social exclusion among young people, that a context of social exclusion does not generate just one way of getting by for young people, that exclusionary process can be experienced as a "vicious circle" or as a "spiral of disadvantage", that social exclusion has a multi-dimensional character.
