Editing Labor market segregation (section)

===== Definition ===== 

Labor market segregation refers to the unequal and discriminatory distribution of individuals into different types of jobs or sectors based on characteristics such as gender, race, ethnicity, or age. This segregation can result in certain groups of people being concentrated in low-paying, low-skilled jobs with limited opportunities for advancement, while other groups have better access to higher-paying, more prestigious positions. This can contribute to inequalities in income, career opportunities, and overall quality of life for marginalized groups. Efforts to address labor market segregation often involve policies and initiatives aimed at promoting diversity, inclusion, and equal opportunity in the workforce.
