===== Date and country of first publication<ref>Date and country of first publication as informed by the Scopus database (December 2023).</ref>===== 2012<br> United States ===== Definition ===== Everyday segregation refers to the systematic separation or division of people based on various factors such as race, ethnicity, class, gender, or religion, which occurs in everyday life, rather than being formalized by laws or government policies. It manifests in various ways, including residential patterns, educational institutions, workplaces, social spaces, and social interactions. For example, in residential patterns, neighborhoods may become segregated due to historical factors, economic disparities, and social biases. This results in people from different racial or ethnic backgrounds living in separate communities, which can perpetuate inequalities and limit opportunities for social integration. In educational institutions, students may face segregation through tracking systems or zoning policies that disproportionately affect minority or low-income students. This can lead to unequal access to resources, educational opportunities, and quality teachers, thereby perpetuating educational inequities. Workplace segregation occurs when individuals from different social backgrounds are concentrated in specific industries or occupations, leading to unequal opportunities for career advancement and income disparities based on factors such as race, gender, or ethnicity. Social spaces, such as recreational facilities, restaurants, or entertainment venues, can also exhibit segregation based on factors like socioeconomic status, race, or age. This can result in limited opportunities for social interaction and perpetuation of stereotypes or biases. Social interactions themselves can be subject to segregation as people naturally tend to associate and interact primarily with others from similar backgrounds or social groups, leading to limited exposure to diverse perspectives and perpetuation of stereotypes. Everyday segregation is a complex and multifaceted issue that requires efforts to address structural inequalities, promote diversity and inclusivity, challenge biases and stereotypes, and create opportunities for interactions and understanding between different communities. ==See also== ==References== ==Notes== <references /> {{NoteAI}} ==Everyday segregation appears in the following literature== Cvetkovich A.
