Definition

Category segregation refers to the act of separating individuals or groups based on their social or demographic characteristics, such as race, gender, age, or socioeconomic status. This segregation can occur in various aspects of life, including housing, education, employment, and public spaces. It can result in the unequal distribution of resources, opportunities, and privileges among different categories, leading to social inequalities and exclusion. Category segregation is often associated with discrimination, prejudice, and systemic injustice. Efforts to address and reduce category segregation aim to promote diversity, inclusivity, and equal rights for all individuals, regardless of their characteristics.
