Definition

Linguistic occupation segregation refers to the division and unequal distribution of linguistic job opportunities and roles based on factors such as ethnicity, race, gender, age, or social class. This form of segregation can result in certain groups being systematically excluded from or marginalized in certain professions or industries, while other groups dominate and have better access to linguistic job opportunities. This type of segregation can lead to disparities in income, career advancement, and overall opportunities for individuals based on their linguistic background. It is important to work towards breaking down these barriers and promoting diversity and inclusivity in linguistic occupations.
