Vulnerability 050
Vulnerability 050 :
Vulnerability concerns the complex social, economic, and political considerations in which peoples everyday lives are embedded and that structure the choices and options they have in the face of environmental hazards. The most vulnerable are typically those with the fewest choices, those whose lives are constrained, for example, by discrimination, political powerlessness, physical disability, lack of education and employment, illness, the absence of legal rights, and other historically grounded practices of domination and marginalization. (Bolin and Stanford, 1998)
