The Great British Class Survey

The Great British Class Survey was a large study conducted to understand the diverse social and economic positions of people in the UK. It analyzed factors such as income, education, occupation, cultural interests, and social connections to categorize individuals into distinct social classes. Unlike traditional class models based solely on income or occupation, this survey recognized that class is multi-dimensional, encompassing cultural tastes, access to resources, and social networks. Its goal was to provide a more accurate picture of social stratification in contemporary Britain, highlighting the complex ways class influences opportunities and lifestyles.
