Definition

Socio-cultural segregation refers to the division or separation of individuals or groups based on social and cultural factors such as race, ethnicity, religion, language, or socio-economic status. This can manifest in various ways, such as residential segregation, educational segregation, or workplace segregation.

Socio-cultural segregation can lead to unequal access to resources, opportunities, and social networks, reinforcing existing inequalities and perpetuating social divisions. It can also contribute to the development of stereotypes, prejudice, and discrimination between different social and cultural groups.

Efforts to reduce socio-cultural segregation often involve promoting diversity, inclusion, and equity in various aspects of society, such as housing, education, and employment. This may involve policies and initiatives aimed at breaking down barriers and fostering greater social cohesion and understanding among diverse groups.
