Definition[edit | edit source]

Occupation establishment segregation refers to the practice of segregating individuals in the workforce based on their occupation or job role. This can involve limiting certain occupations to specific demographic groups, such as race, gender, or nationality, or restricting individuals from certain occupations based on their background or social status.

This form of segregation can create unequal opportunities for individuals in the workforce and reinforce systemic barriers that prevent marginalized groups from accessing higher-paying or more prestigious jobs. It can also perpetuate stereotypes and discrimination in the workplace, leading to a lack of diversity and inclusion.

Efforts to address occupation establishment segregation include implementing anti-discrimination laws, promoting diversity and inclusion initiatives in the workplace, and providing equal access to education and training opportunities for all individuals. By breaking down these barriers, organizations can create a more inclusive and equitable workforce for all.
