What is It
Meaning of Stratification
Social stratification is the classification of people into socioeconomic class, based upon their
occupation and income, wealth and social status. Stratification is the relative social position
of people within a social group, category, geographic region, or social unit. Social stratification
is distinguished as three social classes: the upper class, the middle class, and the lower class;
in turn, each class can be subdivided into strata: the upper-stratum, the middle-stratum, and
the lower stratum. Social stratum can be formed upon the bases of kinship or caste, or both.
Social desirables are resources considered valuable by societies. These resources may be
tangible or intangible. Sociologist may focus on any of these resources as the basis of their
theoretical perspective on social inequality. In short, the recognition of the existence of these
social desirables is what brings together the sociological camps.
Generally, prestige, power, and wealth are three important social desirables. It describes the
social standing of individuals relative to others. Social standing reflects persons’ worth and
access to social, political, and symbolic capital. Sociologists have different vies as to what
constitute social class. Karl Marx looked at it in terms of wealth produced in relation to the
ownership of the means of production. Wealth may refer to money, properties, and similar
tangible resources.
Max Weber, on the other hand, differentiates them into three: wealth, power, and prestige.
Individual’s social standing can be measured, all at once, based on their relative access to
these three.
Bases of Class According to Karl Marx and Max Weber

Social mobility refers to changes of individuals, families, households, or other
categories of people within or between social class in a society. It is a change
in social status relative to one's current social location within a given society.
Types of Social Mobility
1. Horizontal mobility
This happen when a person changes their occupation but their overall social standing
remains unchanged.
2. Vertical mobility
It is a change in the occupational, political, or religious status of a person that causes
a change in their societal position. A person or social object moves from one social
class to another.
3. Upward mobility
It is when a person moves from a lower position in society to a higher one. It can also
include people occupying higher positions in the same societal group. However,
upward mobility, while seen as a good thing, can also come at a cost for individuals.
4. Downward mobility
It takes place when a person moves from a higher position in society to a lower one. It
happen when someone is caught performing a wrongful act that can result in the loss of
the position they currently hold.
5. Inter-generational mobility
This happen when the social position changes from one generation to another. The
change can be upward or downward.
6. Intra-generational mobility
Change in societal position occurs during the lifespan of a single generation. It can
also refer to a change in position between siblings. One way is when a person climbs
up the corporate ladder in their career.

Some Issues Relative to Social Stratification
Wealth and Income Ethnicity Gender and
Sexual
Orientation
People with
Disabilities
(PWD)
In the Philippines, there are
92.3 million Filipinos lives below
poverty line because of the
country’s economic and social
inequality. According to the
ASEAN Trade Union
Council, the Philippines has the
highest rate of economic and
social inequality in Southeast
Asia, and unless action is taken,
the gap will continue to widen.
The 4 major causes of income
inequality in our country are:
1. the rising proportion of
urban households
2. age distribution changes
3. increasing number of
highly educated
household
4. wage rate inequality.
Ethnic groups
are also facing
discrimination.
Aside from
cultural
marginalization
that they suffer
from the
dominant
cultural
majorities,
where their
cultural
practices are
subjects of
ridicule and
their physical
appearances
and demeanor
ear for them
over forms of
discrimination
through
stereotypes and
end up as
victims of
development
aggression.
Their ancestral
land are either
forcibly taken
away from them
in the guise of
development
projects like
government
infrastructures
or dumping site
for toxic waste.
Woman have
always been
coerce by
societies that
have a structural
bias because of
cultural beliefs.
Men are seen in
many cultures as
natural leaders
and conformed
more social and
political rights.In
some culture,
women cannot
own property,
and they cannot
drive their own
car. Woman also
experienced
harassment in
the work place
and become
victim of sexual
harassment and
violence. A
similar situation
is being
experienced by
lesbian, gay,
bisexual, and
transgender
(LGBT) people.
They are often
subjected to
discrimination
and ridicule by a
society that
considers them
aberrations or
forms of deviancy.
These people are
also discriminated
and their physical
impairments
become basis of
denial and equal
opportunity in
employment. They
do not enjoy the
benefits that abled
persons receive.

  • 11. 5 What is It Meaning of Stratification Social stratification is the classification of people into socioeconomic class, based upon their occupation and income, wealth and social status. Stratification is the relative social position of people within a social group, category, geographic region, or social unit. Social stratification is distinguished as three social classes: the upper class, the middle class, and the lower class; in turn, each class can be subdivided into strata: the upper-stratum, the middle-stratum, and the lower stratum. Social stratum can be formed upon the bases of kinship or caste, or both. Social desirables are resources considered valuable by societies. These resources may be tangible or intangible. Sociologist may focus on any of these resources as the basis of their theoretical perspective on social inequality. In short, the recognition of the existence of these social desirables is what brings together the sociological camps. Generally, prestige, power, and wealth are three important social desirables. It describes the social standing of individuals relative to others. Social standing reflects persons’ worth and access to social, political, and symbolic capital. Sociologists have different vies as to what constitute social class. Karl Marx looked at it in terms of wealth produced in relation to the ownership of the means of production. Wealth may refer to money, properties, and similar tangible resources. Max Weber, on the other hand, differentiates them into three: wealth, power, and prestige. Individual’s social standing can be measured, all at once, based on their relative access to these three. Bases of Class According to Karl Marx and Max Weber KARL MARX MAX WEBER ECONOMIC STATURE POWER WEALTH PRESTIGE Material prosperity, ownership of the means of production Political or social authority or control, especially that which is exercised by a government Material prosperity Widespread respect and admiration felt for someone due to his or her achievements or quality
