Definition

Second generation segregation refers to the ongoing segregation of a particular racial or ethnic group's children, even though the initial generation may have had more opportunities for integration. This term is often used to describe the persistence of racial and ethnic segregation in schools, housing, and other social institutions for the children of immigrants or minority groups, despite efforts to promote integration. The concept highlights the failure of society to provide equal opportunities and access to resources for these second-generation individuals, leading to their continued isolation and limited upward mobility.
