Aged segregation

Aged segregation refers to the separation of individuals based on their age, particularly in residential communities or social activities. This can manifest in various ways, such as retirement communities exclusively for older adults or events and activities that are geared towards specific age groups. Aged segregation can have both positive and negative aspects, as it can provide a sense of community and support for individuals of similar ages, but it can also lead to isolation and exclusion from intergenerational interactions. It is important to consider the impact of aged segregation on social cohesion and inclusivity in society.
