Urban segregation in India limits class mobility

On World Population Day today (July 11), we visit one of the world’s most populated cities, in what’s now the most populous country in the world: Mumbai, India. For generations, people have moved from the rural areas to the cities to find opportunity. But new research shows neighborhoods in Indian cities are segregated according to caste and religion, and that impacts upward mobility for residents. Raksha Kumar visits three neighborhoods in Mumbai to talk to residents about the segregation and how it leads to a lack of resources for some.
