Youth segregation refers to the practice of separating young people, particularly adolescents, based on characteristics such as race, gender, ethnicity, or socioeconomic status. This separation can occur in various settings, including schools, residential areas, or social organizations.

Youth segregation is seen as a reflection of larger societal divisions and inequalities. It can have negative consequences on young people by limiting their exposure to diverse experiences, perspectives, and opportunities. It may also perpetuate stereotypes and reinforce societal prejudice and discrimination.

Efforts are being made to address youth segregation and promote inclusivity and diversity among young people. This includes initiatives to promote integration and equal access to resources and opportunities for all youth, regardless of their background.
