Description
Social class differences and inequalities are prominent in contemporary Britain. This book provides an overview of empirical research on social class, exploring its impact on various aspects of life, including wealth and income, education, work and leisure, health, housing, family relationships, and more. Reid's analysis reveals how social class affects not only lifestyle but also life chances, influencing birth rates, health outcomes, and even death. The book offers a comprehensive understanding of the nature of social class in Britain, discussing its use in empirical research and challenging the idea that Britain is moving towards a classless society. Written for a broad audience, including students, social scientists, teachers, politicians, and administrators, this book provides an indispensable guide to the social structure of Britain today.
