Definition[edit | edit source]

Elective segregation refers to the intentional separation of individuals or groups based on certain characteristics or preferences. Unlike mandatory segregation, elective segregation is a voluntary choice made by individuals or groups to separate themselves from others who are different from them. This separation can be based on various factors such as race, ethnicity, religion, socioeconomic status, or personal preferences.

In some cases, people may choose elective segregation to be among others who share similar backgrounds, beliefs, or lifestyles. This can be seen in communities or neighborhoods where individuals voluntarily choose to live among others who belong to the same racial or ethnic group, or who share similar religious beliefs.

Elective segregation can also occur in education, where individuals or parents may choose to enroll in schools or programs that align with their preferences. For example, some parents may choose to send their children to private schools with a specific religious affiliation or to schools that offer specialized academic programs.

While elective segregation is a personal choice, it can have social and cultural implications. It can contribute to the creation of homogeneous communities or groups, thereby limiting opportunities for diverse interactions and experiences. This can reinforce stereotypes, prejudice, and discrimination among different groups.

It is important to note that elective segregation is different from forced or institutionalized segregation, which is mandated by laws or policies. Mandatory segregation, such as historical racial segregation in the United States, was legally enforced and resulted in systemic discrimination and inequality.
