Editing Labor segregation (section)

===== Definition ===== 

Labor segregation refers to the practice of separating workers based on certain characteristics, such as gender, race, or ethnicity, and assigning them to specific types of jobs or roles within an organization. This can result in certain groups of workers being disproportionately represented in low-paying, less prestigious, or less desirable positions, while other groups are overrepresented in higher-paying, higher-status roles. Labor segregation can contribute to inequalities and disparities in the workforce, as well as limit opportunities for advancement and career growth for marginalized groups. Efforts to address labor segregation typically involve promoting diversity and inclusion in hiring and promotion processes, as well as implementing policies and practices that support equal opportunities for all workers.
