Abstract
The current social and economic reality represented in situations of vulnerability and inequality has exposed types of exclusion that were not addressed in the different studies, such as cases of financial and social exclusion, given that such concepts were commonly identified with terms such as poverty, misery or marginality, among others. These new categories of study give rise to the search for strategies that allow to reduce this inequality gap, by studying the relationship between financial inclusion and social inclusion. In this line, the present work aims to develop a theoretical approach that makes visible the cause and effect relationship between social and financial exclusion and inclusion. The methodological approach used for such an approach is based on a theoretical-conceptual reflection, based on a review of the scientific literature addressed around the four proposed study categories, developed from empirical and theoretical works that allowed to demonstrate the common elements that support the conceptual relationship. In the first conceptual section the theoretical foundations are exposed, in the second the theoretical analysis of the cause and effect relationship is presented and the findings and limitations found throughout the work are finalized.
