Preferred term

social stratification  

Definition

  • Social stratification refers to the positions held by individuals and groups in the structures of inequality existing in a society. Specifically, it denotes the classification of individuals and groups into different categories on the basis of the amount of one or more privileges enjoyed by the members of each category and/or the intensity of power that they are able to exert over other people. [Source: International Encyclopedia of Political Science; Social Stratification]
