How are economic classes defined?
Is the class that an individual or family is a part of (upper class, working class, etc.) directly defined by thier income or is it a relative term?
Answer:
In general class is not defined only by income but by occupation, education, and in many places by birth. However when people say economic class, they usually mean income, but even then describing a low paid college professor as working class seems wrong.
Huh?
everything is relative.
I consider myself middle class
I assume most people do.
I have a house and a job and numerous things that come with a secure income.
I considered myself middle class when my wife and I were first married and I had a lot less then(37years ago)
I think it is something like old age. Old is twenty years older than whatever one is.
naturally they are defined in terns of income.
social class category is defined in relative term. Because there are millionaires who have assests without much money in bank; there are workers with job to increase their money. There are powerful and famous without much property.
