Definition[edit | edit source]
Wealth segregation refers to the division or separation of individuals or groups based on their level of wealth or socioeconomic status. It occurs when different income groups reside in separate neighborhoods, attend different schools, or have limited access to certain resources and opportunities.
Wealth segregation can lead to various social and economic inequalities, including limited access to quality education, healthcare, and job opportunities for those in lower-income groups. It can also perpetuate cycles of poverty and restrict social mobility, as individuals from disadvantaged backgrounds may face barriers to upward socioeconomic mobility.
This phenomenon is often closely related to residential segregation, where individuals of different income groups live in separate communities. Wealthier individuals tend to reside in affluent neighborhoods with better services, infrastructure, and schools, while those with lower incomes are concentrated in areas with fewer resources and opportunities.
Wealth segregation can have significant implications for society as a whole, as it contributes to the widening wealth gap and fosters social divisions. It can reinforce disparities in wealth distribution and perpetuate social stratification, making it more challenging for individuals from disadvantaged backgrounds to improve their living conditions or attain financial security.
Efforts to address wealth segregation typically involve policies and initiatives aimed at promoting equal access to education, affordable housing, and job opportunities. These measures aim to create more inclusive and economically integrated communities, reducing the disparities caused by wealth segregation.
