Social Grading System

Social Grade System

Social Grading System is a system of demographic classification. These classifications are based on the occupation and the income of the head of the household. For example, in an exemplary family, the Father may bring in the most income. Therefore, this will determine the family's classification in the social grading system regardless if the Mother works too. A criticism of the system is that it classifies an entire household on the occupation of a single individual. And also the system ignores groups such as wealthy people who do not work and some groups who are self-employed.
