Multilevel segregation refers to the existence of segregation on multiple levels or dimensions within a society. This can include segregation based on race, ethnicity, socio-economic status, gender, religion, or other characteristics. For example, a city may have segregated neighborhoods based on race and income level, leading to multiple layers of segregation within the community. Multilevel segregation can have far-reaching impacts on individuals' access to opportunities, resources, and social mobility, as well as on social cohesion and the overall well-being of a society. It is a complex and pervasive issue that requires comprehensive and holistic solutions.
