The Great British class calculator
People in the UK now fit into seven social classes, a major survey
conducted by the BBC suggests.
The new classes are defined as:
Elite - the most privileged group in the UK, distinct from the other six
classes through its wealth. This group has the highest levels of all
three capitals
Established middle class - the second wealthiest, scoring highly on all
three capitals. The largest and most gregarious group, scoring second
highest for cultural capital
Technical middle class - a small, distinctive new class group which is
prosperous but scores low for social and cultural capital. Distinguished
by its social isolation and cultural apathy
New affluent workers - a young class group which is socially and
culturally active, with middling levels of economic capital
Traditional working class - scores low on all forms of capital, but is
not completely deprived. Its members have reasonably high house values,
explained by this group having the oldest average age at 66
Emergent service workers - a new, young, urban group which is relatively
poor but has high social and cultural capital
Precariat, or precarious proletariat - the poorest, most deprived class,
scoring low for social and cultural capital
