The British Class System

There are 3 man social classes, these include:

• Upper Class
• Middle Class
• Working Class

However, over the years these have evolved into many more including:

• Precariat - the poorest and most deprived class in Britain. Everyday lives of members of this class are precarious. Low levels of economic, cultural and social capital.
• Traditional Working Class - Contains more older members than other classes, however they are not the poorest group. It also scores low on all forms of the three capitals. 
• Emergent Service Worker - Young and often found in urban areas, this new class has low economic capital but has high levels of 'emerging' cultural capital and high social capital. 
• Technical Middle Class - A less culturally engaged new class with high economic capital. Small in numbers, they have relatively few social contacts. 
• Social Middle - Less culturally engaged and small in numbers and has medium levels of economic capital and higher levels of cultural and social capital.
• New Affluent Workers - Generally young and active, medium levels of economic capitals and high levels of social capital.
• Established Middle Class - Not quite elite but members of this class have high levels of all three capitals, they are gregarious and culturally engaged class
• Elite - This is the most privileged class in Great Britain who have high levels of all three capitals. Their high amount of economic capital sets them apart from everyone else.
