Definition

Small scale segregation refers to the separation or division of communities or individuals based on certain factors such as race, ethnicity, socio-economic status, or religion on a smaller scale. This can occur within neighborhoods, schools, workplaces, or other social settings. Unlike large-scale or systemic segregation, small scale segregation may be less visible or overt, but it still perpetuates inequality and creates barriers to equal opportunities and social integration.
