Definition

Poverty segregation refers to the physical separation of individuals or communities based on their economic status. This can manifest in various forms, such as neighborhoods that are predominantly low-income or high-income, limited access to resources and services in impoverished areas, and disparities in quality of education and employment opportunities. Poverty segregation can perpetuate cycles of poverty and inequality, as individuals living in segregated areas may face barriers to improving their socio-economic status. Efforts to address poverty segregation often involve policies and programs aimed at promoting economic integration and equal access to resources for all individuals.
