SES

SES, or Socioeconomic Status, refers to an individual or group's social and economic position in relation to others, typically measured by income, education, and occupation. It reflects a person's access to resources and opportunities, influencing their quality of life, health, and overall well-being. Higher SES often correlates with better education, job opportunities, and health outcomes, while lower SES can lead to challenges such as poverty, limited access to healthcare, and reduced social mobility. Understanding SES helps identify social inequalities and inform policies aimed at improving equity and support for disadvantaged populations.
