===== Definition ===== Demographic segregation refers to the separation of different demographic groups, such as race, ethnicity, or socioeconomic status, within a given community or society. This can take various forms, including residential segregation, where different groups live in separate neighborhoods or areas; educational segregation, where students from different backgrounds attend different schools; or occupational segregation, where certain professions or industries are dominated by specific demographic groups. Demographic segregation can contribute to inequalities and social divisions, limiting opportunities and access to resources for marginalized groups. It is often a result of historical discrimination, systemic biases, and unequal distribution of resources and opportunities. Efforts to reduce demographic segregation include promoting diversity and inclusion, implementing fair housing and education policies, and challenging discriminatory practices.
