Definition

Micro segregation refers to the subtle ways in which individuals or groups are separated or segregated from each other based on certain characteristics such as race, gender, religion, or socioeconomic status. It can manifest in various forms, such as exclusion from social events, unequal treatment, or unconscious bias. Micro segregation can have negative effects on individuals' well-being and can perpetuate larger systems of inequality and discrimination.
