Spatial age segregation refers to the physical separation of people of different age groups within a particular space or community. This can occur in various places, such as neighborhoods, schools, and recreational facilities, where older and younger individuals are often separated based on age. Age segregation can have both positive and negative effects, impacting social interactions, community cohesion, and access to resources for different age groups.
