Second, efforts on eliminating social exclusion of the government, community and the laid-off workers. Third, reemployment and the elimination of social exclusion. Fourth, suggestions on policy.The study proved that unemployment is the very important cause of social exclusion in finance, culture and social relation. However, simple reemployment can't eliminate social exclusion effectively.
