Definition

Human capital segregation refers to the unequal distribution of opportunities, resources, and benefits based on race, gender, age, and other social characteristics. This form of segregation can prevent individuals from accessing quality education, employment, and other opportunities, leading to a perpetuation of inequality and disadvantage. This can have negative effects on individuals, communities, and society as a whole. Employers and policymakers have a responsibility to address human capital segregation and promote diversity and inclusion in the workforce.
