Economic Segregation

Economic segregation is the separation of people into different neighborhoods or areas based on their income or wealth. This often occurs when wealthier families live in certain neighborhoods with better services and amenities, while lower-income families are confined to less well-off areas. Factors like housing costs, policies, and economic disparities contribute to this division. Economic segregation can limit access to quality education, healthcare, and employment opportunities for lower-income groups, impacting social mobility and reinforcing economic inequalities in society.
