Workplace Segregation

Workplace segregation refers to the unequal distribution of different groups of people within the labor market, often based on race, gender, or other characteristics. This means that certain groups may be concentrated in lower-paying, less desirable jobs, while others dominate higher-paying, more prestigious positions. This segregation can stem from discrimination and biases, limiting opportunities for some individuals to advance in their careers. It perpetuates inequality and hinders overall economic progress, as it prevents diverse talents from contributing fully to the workforce.
