===== Definition ===== 

Hierarchical employment segregation refers to the phenomenon where individuals are segregated in the workforce based on their hierarchical position within the organization. This can manifest in various forms, such as certain groups being relegated to lower-level positions with limited opportunities for advancement, or certain demographics being underrepresented in senior leadership positions.

This segregation can be the result of various factors, including systemic biases, discriminatory hiring practices, and unequal access to educational and professional development opportunities. Hierarchical employment segregation can have negative impacts on individuals, as it can perpetuate inequality, limit career advancement opportunities, and contribute to the overall lack of diversity in the workforce.

Addressing hierarchical employment segregation requires a multi-faceted approach, including implementing diversity and inclusion initiatives, promoting equal access to career advancement opportunities, and challenging discriminatory attitudes and practices within the workplace. By striving for a more inclusive and equitable work environment, organizations can help break down barriers and create a more diverse and representative workforce.
