Socioeconomic Status

Socioeconomic status (SES) refers to an individual's or group's economic and social position relative to others, based on factors like income, education, and occupation. It influences access to resources and opportunities, impacting quality of life, health, and education. People with higher SES typically enjoy better job prospects, healthcare, and living conditions, while those with lower SES may face challenges such as poverty and limited access to services. Understanding SES helps to identify social inequalities and develop policies aimed at improving conditions for disadvantaged communities.
