Overcrowding would be a consequence or rigid boundaries. Poverty might be a result of economic restrictions. The phrase "compelled to confine themselves" seems curiously worded. The "confinement" applied to residence at least, possibly real property ownership, certain travel, and possibly to other things and differed by jurisdiction. We shouldn't imply more (or less) than usage compels use to. | | :::::::::Also, though a 'real' Jewish ghetto had rigid boundaries enforced by law, some areas called ghettos (now? then?) did not, being more ''Jewish Quarter''s, more like the modern sense of ''ghetto''.
