Definition

Rural segregation refers to the separation of various ethnic or racial groups in rural areas, resulting in limited interaction and unequal access to resources and opportunities for these groups. It is characterized by the concentration of certain racial or ethnic groups in specific geographic areas, while other groups are excluded or marginalized. This segregation can occur due to several factors, including historical patterns of discrimination, socioeconomic disparities, cultural differences, or systemic policies and practices. The consequences of rural segregation can include limited economic opportunities, disparities in education and healthcare, and social isolation for marginalized communities.
