Socioeconomic Status Tracker
Socioeconomic status is a combination of many factors that define an individual’s or group’s position within the social structure. Most commonly, measures of socioeconomic status include occupation, education, and income. These reflect the distribution of resources and correlate to health and quality-of-life status in the population. People of lower socioeconomic status suffer disproportionately from disease and mortality compared to people of higher socioeconomic status.
