===== Definition ===== Class segregation refers to the separation of people into different social classes based on factors such as income, wealth, occupation, and education. It is a form of social stratification where individuals or groups are segregated or separated based on their social class. Class segregation can manifest in various ways, including residential segregation, educational segregation, and occupational segregation. Residential segregation occurs when people of different social classes live in separate neighborhoods or areas, with higher-income individuals living in wealthier neighborhoods and lower-income individuals living in economically disadvantaged areas. Educational segregation refers to the unequal distribution of educational resources and opportunities based on social class. This can result in disparities in the quality of education and opportunities available to different social classes. Occupational segregation occurs when certain occupations or industries are dominated by individuals from specific social classes. This can result in limited mobility and opportunities for individuals from lower social classes to move up the social ladder. Class segregation can perpetuate social inequalities and limit social mobility. It can contribute to the perpetuation of wealth and income disparities, as well as reinforce social hierarchies. It also affects individuals' access to resources, opportunities, and social networks, which can further impact their economic and social well-being. Efforts to address class segregation include policies aimed at reducing income inequality, improving access to quality education for all, and promoting inclusive and diverse workplaces.
