%T Exclusion and Old Age - An environmental perspective on social exclusion in later life in Germany
%U https://frw.studenttheses.ub.rug.nl/2256/
%X This study builds on the previous findings that older people are especially vulnerable to social exclusion by examining the relationship of area structure on two domains of social exclusion in old age. Results show that capital is cumulative and financial resources still have a strong impact on exclusion from civic participation and social relations. Exclusion from civic participation varies across districts, though a small sample size prevents significant effects in the most comprehensive model. Future research must focus on a more complex definition of centralisation and utilize mixed methods designs.
