Socioeconomic status scales

By: Mary L., Angelin

Socioeconomic status (SES) is one among important indicators to evaluate the health status and nutritional status of a family. It is "a position attained by any individual within a system of hierarchical social structure". It has a major role to play in seeking health care services, accessibility issues, affordability costs, acceptance by beneficiaries and overall utilization of services by the people. SES encompasses not just income but also educational attainment, financial security, and subjective perceptions of social status and social class. Socioeconomic status can encompass quality of life attributes as well as the opportunities and privileges afforded to people within society. Various socioeconomic status scales have been done by eminent scholars and medical scientists to determine SES of an individual or a family living in urban or rural areas. Hence this book gives a detailed insight about social classes and socioeconomic status scales.
