Anthropology of Globalization
Vulnerable populations refer to groups of individuals who are at a higher risk of experiencing social, economic, and health disparities due to their marginalized status. These groups often include low-income families, racial and ethnic minorities, the elderly, refugees, and people with disabilities, who face systemic barriers that make them more susceptible to adverse outcomes. Recognizing the needs and challenges faced by these populations is crucial for ethical considerations in research and policy-making.
