Definition

Foreign born segregation refers to the social phenomenon where individuals who are not native to a particular country are segregated or isolated from the rest of the population based on their nationality, ethnicity, or cultural background. This can manifest in various ways, such as discrimination in housing, employment, education, and social interactions. Foreign born segregation can create barriers to integration and social inclusion, leading to further marginalization and inequality among immigrant communities. Efforts to address foreign born segregation typically involve promoting diversity, cultural exchange, and anti-discrimination policies to ensure that all individuals, regardless of their background, have equal opportunities and access to resources.
