Overview
Socioeconomic status (SES) is a multifaceted measurement used by economists and sociologists to assess an individual's or family's economic and social position in relation to others. It encompasses factors such as education level, household income, occupation, and perceived financial stress. While often used interchangeably with social class, SES is a more dynamic concept that can change over time. Researchers have contributed to the understanding of SES, highlighting its impact on social mobility, health outcomes, and overall well-being.
