Socioeconomic Status (SES)

Socioeconomic Status (SES) refers to an individual's or family's social and economic position in relation to others. It is typically assessed based on income, education, and occupation. Higher SES often means better access to resources like quality healthcare, education, and job opportunities, while lower SES may lead to challenges in these areas. SES can significantly influence one's life chances, including health outcomes, social mobility, and overall well-being, as it reflects the advantages or disadvantages individuals face in society.
