socioeconomic classification  

Definición

  • Socioeconomic classification refers, in broad terms, to the arrangement, categorization, or assignment of individuals of a population (and, by extension, other population-based elements such as families, households, neighborhoods, geopolitical units, etc.) to predesignated classes, orders, subgroups, or continuous scale or gradient on the basis of perceived common social, societal, and/or economic attributes, characteristics, conditions, relations, or affinities. The goal of any socioeconomic classification is to provide a valid, relevant, and meaningful organization of the population into separate, discrete social classes or, conversely, all along a hierarchical continuum of socioeconomic position.
