Preventing Social Isolation and Segregation in Schools: Evidence from a Randomized Intervention

The social networks in which we participate are strongly segregated by ethnicity, income, gender, age, profession, or religion, among other divides (Jackson, 2021, Currarini, Jackson and Pin, 2009; McPherson et al., 2001). Recent evidence shows that social isolation and segregation starts from an early age (Bhargava, 2022), and can have large and lasting effects on individual chances in life as people depend on their networks for information, opportunities, and norms of behaviour (Rubineau and Fernandez, 2013; Zeltzer, 2020; Banerjee et al., 2019).
