Definition

Status segregation refers to the separation of individuals into different social classes or groups based on their perceived socioeconomic status or social standing. This can lead to inequalities and discrimination, as individuals in higher status groups may have more opportunities and resources compared to those in lower status groups. Status segregation can also perpetuate societal divides and hinder social mobility. efforts to address status segregation may include promoting equal access to education, employment opportunities, and social services for all individuals, regardless of their social status.
