Class Analysis

Class analysis is the stratification of the society through the perspective of economics, sociology, and politics into the various dynamic classes. It explores the social phenomena, consequences, and determinants concerning class divisions. Class analysis portrays society as being divided into unequal hierarchical divisions with unequal access to influence, power, and resources. Various factors determine the different social classes, including the upper, middle, and low categories, such as education, physical health, race, gender, and occupation. However, the class analysis system has various loopholes; for instance, it tends to ignore the influence of women in society, assuming that men occupy top positions in the occupational and education system. Also, most minority groups are portrayed as low-class individuals based on discrimination in the work systems, education, and employment, creating a barrier to achieving high living standards. Therefore, the impact of gender and race are some of the limitations to class analysis.
