This book describes the class structure in the United States, focusing on the way people's class location influences their opportunities. To do this, Beeghley emphasizes three themes. The first theme is that power influences the distribution of resources in the United States. The second theme is that the social structure influences rates of events, mainly because it determines people's range of choices. The third theme is that social psychological factors influence how individuals act on, and react to, the situations in which they find themselves. One purpose of this book is to help students understand social inequality from a new angle of vision. This orientation implies that social facts are not always what they seem to be, an insight that is fundamental to sociology.

Japanese Tanaka's works Tanaka's Home SSM Survey SSM (Social Stratification and Social Mobility) project has collected personal histories, concerned with social status and inequality, with national representative samples in Japan. At 1955 the first survey was conducted by the Japanese Association of Sociology. After that basically similar surveys are repeated at intervals of ten years. Inquiries should be addressed to Seiyama Kazuo, seiyama@l.u-tokyo.ac.jp Department of Sociology, University of Tokyo. Hongo 7-3-1, Bunkyo-ku, Tokyo, 113, JAPAN. Findings from the 5th survey (1995) The fifth survey, which is represented by Seiyama Kazuo (Univ. of Tokyo), was conducted from October to November, 1995. The sample was approximately 10,000 people aged 20-69 of the Japan electoral register.

Social Stratification and the Differentiation of Life Styles, Social Perceptions and Attitudes in Switzerland Dr. Markus Lamprecht and Dr. Hanspeter Stamm (Note 1) Abstract During the post-war era, processes of de-structuration and individualization have rendered the structure of inequality more complex and led to the disintegration of traditional classes and "milieus". The emergence of "new" inequalities and the dynamization of existing structures have brought about ambivalent interests and a growing intertwinement of different lines of conflict. The contribution discusses and tests an extended model of social stratification that integrates conventional theories of stratification with perspectives on "new" inequalities and recent culturally oriented perspectives on milieus on the basis of a core-periphery model. In spite of the multitude of conceivable combinations of social privileges and structural prejudices, the use of the core-periphery model renders possible the systematic identification and classification of groups of people in similar structural situations. Beyond the identification of "objective" positions and milieus, the model also aims at explaining and predicting the living conditions, attitudes, perceptions and value preferences of these groups. The test and identification of the interlinkages of "conventional" and "new" inequalities as well as their effects are performed on the basis of a comparative secondary analysis of recent survey data from Switzerland.

Economic Change and Social Stratification Baehr Peter Lingnan University Politics and Sociology First Semester 2001 This course examines the relationship between economic change and social inequality. It investigates why some people - and some nations - are richer and more powerful than others. In addition, it seeks to assess the extent to which economic, cultural and political ideas and institutions are becoming globalized. Examples from both Asian and Western societies are provided. The key objectives of this course are to offer a comparative, empirical analysis of economic change; to provide a theoretically informed treatment of social stratification; and to consider the importance of culture - for instance, relationships of trust as a contributing factor to an economy's success or lack of it. http://www.ln.edu.hk/psd/docs/01SOC318.h...

By the end of the quarter the student will have a greater understanding of the forms of social stratification and the impact race, gender, and class have on peoples life chances. Although the courses focus will be mainly on social class, I will integrate race and gender into the course material throughout the quarter. A large portion of the material will cover economical and political aspects of inequality. In other words, we will discuss the influence and control elite populations have on U.S. economic, political, and social institutions. http://www.soc.sbs.ohio-state.edu/wdb/sy...

The first half of the course will: (1) characterize the class structure by defining major social cleavages in traditional and modern stratification systems; (2) review theories and evidence about the relative importance of ascription and achievement in producing social inequality; (3) identify processes by which inequality is produced, legitimated and maintained; and (4) evaluate the social and economic consequences of systems of inequality. The second half of the course will focus specifically on gender, race and ethnic stratification by examining the demographic processes, spatial arrangements, and labor market dynamics that produce and maintain socioeconomic inequities.

Changes in technology, the global and regional distribution of wealth, power, access continue to impact the organization of society. The following course will help you recognize, evaluate, and address issues of social, economic, and other kinds of hierarchy and stratification. Our look at social stratification spans a period from classic analysis of pre-industrialization to contemporary issues of power, access, and employment associated with globalization. We will cover the basic theories, terms, and approaches, as well as examples from the class systems of different societies, as well as different approaches to address inequality.

Akan Social Stratification The Akan have developed elaborate stratification systems based upon the maintenance of hereditary status tied to their political order that represents a form that anthropologists call a ranked society. The principle positions consist chiefly of titles arranged in a graded hierarchy from the king who rules over the entire state, to divisional chiefs heading subordinate regions, to town chiefs at the bottom of the administrative ladder. On each level the central leader is assisted by a group of subordinate title holders who make up his advisory council and assume specialized political responsibilities. Each status, from royalty to the lowest office, is "owned" by a lineage group and is assigned to one of its members. Most are reserved for men, but some women's offices, such as queen mother, are present. No fixed succession rule is imposed, and the acquisition of some positions, such as the kingship, require broad approval from the population. These features of the Akan ranking system are typical of this form of stratification in that statuses are restricted but are quite numerous and arranged in a complex hierarchy based in part upon locality. Hereditary statuses within this stratification order are closely integrated into the religious system, especially at the upper levels where kings and chiefs serve as foci for the worship of royal ancestors and thereby assume a divine aspect. Their religious position establishes a strong sanction for the maintenance of their influence but also acts to restrict their powers, since ritual regulations impose a variety of limitations on their freedom of action including their physical mobility. Maintenance of status is also dependent upon acts of public generosity.

Kyrgyzstan: A Case Study of Social Stratification This publication analyzes the process of social stratification and the social structure emerging in Kyrgyzstan in the course of transition. Macroeconomic policies, privatization, agrarian reforms and changes in social security regime are considered as determinants of social stratification together with other factors, such as social networks, ethnicity, the strength and role of institutions. The volume further focuses on income inequality and examines transformation of the old and characteristics of the new social classes and groups: the new elite, the middle class and the poor. One of the major conclusions of the study is that the country needs a strong income redistribution policy addressing the inequality and massive poverty that present a major challenge to successful transition and sustainable development.
