But their salaries simply aren't adequate. No one asks them how they live, what the quality of their lives is, or how they manage. If you're poor, you have to be on guard all the time, to try to make sure that you get what you're entitled to. No one is interested in what they have to say. No one asks them what they think.
Society treats the poor as if they have nothing of value to contribute because they are poor.
Society doesn't really contribute to their lives at all, and doesn't allow them to contribute to society. Money matters, but being irrelevant and unimportant is the greatest pain of all. It's much more complex. Social exclusion refers to the continued, ongoing, ever-present loneliness and isolation. People who suffer from social isolation feel that they cannot influence their surroundings, and that there is no point in even trying to participate in society because no one cares and no one listens.
