Definition

Localized social segregation refers to the division of society into separate groups based on characteristics such as race, ethnicity, socioeconomic status, or other factors within a specific geographical area. This can result in unequal access to resources and opportunities for individuals in different social groups, leading to social, economic, and educational disparities. Examples of localized social segregation include segregated neighborhoods, schools, workplaces, and social spaces where individuals from different social groups may not interact or have access to the same opportunities.
