Definition[edit | edit source]

Domestic segregation refers to the separation of people based on their race, ethnicity, social class, or other factors within their own homes or residential spaces. This can occur when people of different backgrounds choose to live separately from one another, often due to economic disparities, cultural differences, or personal preferences. Domestic segregation can have significant social and economic impacts, as it can perpetuate inequality, limit opportunities for interaction and understanding, and lead to the concentration of resources or disadvantages in certain areas. It is often closely related to patterns of residential segregation in broader communities or neighborhoods. It is important to address domestic segregation in order to promote diversity, inclusion, and equal opportunities within communities.
