Definition

Intra-group segregation refers to the separation or division of individuals within a particular group based on certain characteristics such as race, religion, gender, or social status. This can occur within a variety of social settings, such as schools, workplaces, or communities, and can result in discrimination, exclusion, and unequal opportunities for certain members of the group. Intra-group segregation can contribute to social inequality and hinder efforts to promote diversity, inclusion, and unity among group members.
