Preferred term

social inequalities and relationships  

Definition

  • The structure and quality of human relationships experienced by adults vary across differences in social status based on social stratification in society. Socioeconomic status (SES) is a major social status factor that results in social inequalities in individuals' experience of relationships, usually advantaging persons of higher SES. SES is typically indexed by differentiation across levels of education, income, occupational status, and wealth. [Source: Encyclopedia of Human Relationships; Social Inequalities and Relationships]
