1. Occupation and work status

Occupation and working status are one of the important indicators to measure social stratification. Different social classes are usually distinguished by factors such as occupation type, level, income level and social status.

2. Education level

Education level is another important indicator of social stratification. It is generally believed that people with high education level have more advantages in social status and income, while people with low education level are more likely to be at a lower social level.

3. Income and wealth

The distribution of income and wealth is the key factor of social stratification. Income refers to the economic benefits that individuals or families get from work and investment, while wealth includes wealth accumulated in the form of assets, real estate and investment.

4. Social status

Social status refers to a person's status and prestige in society, which is usually related to occupation, education, income and other factors. People with high social status often enjoy more power, resources and privileges.

5. Living conditions

Living conditions include housing conditions, medical security, social welfare and so on. People of different social classes may have obvious differences in these aspects.

6. Social networks and relationships

Social networks and relationships refer to interpersonal relationships and social circles established by individuals in society. In social stratification, extensive and influential social networks can often provide more opportunities and resources.

These objective indicators are usually used in combination to comprehensively evaluate and describe social stratification. However, social stratification is a complex phenomenon, which involves the comprehensive effect of many factors. Therefore, in practical research, other indicators can be used for a more comprehensive and in-depth analysis.
