===== Definition ===== 

Within-group segregation refers to the separation or isolation of individuals within a specific social or demographic group. This type of segregation occurs when different subgroups within a larger group choose to associate primarily with individuals who share similar characteristics or backgrounds. This can result in limited interaction and social integration between different subgroups within the larger group.

Examples of within-group segregation can be seen in various contexts, such as racial or ethnic segregation within neighborhoods or communities. For instance, in some cities, neighborhoods may be predominantly inhabited by individuals of a particular racial or ethnic group, leading to limited diversity and interaction between different racial or ethnic groups within those neighborhoods.

Within-group segregation can also occur based on other characteristics such as socioeconomic status, religion, or language. In societies or communities where such divisions are prevalent, it can lead to disparities in opportunities, resources, and social connections between different subgroups.

Within-group segregation can be a result of various factors, including personal preferences, historical patterns of discrimination or marginalization, economic inequalities, and cultural or linguistic differences. Addressing within-group segregation often requires efforts to promote inclusivity, diversity, and equal opportunities for all individuals within the larger group.
