Social Class: Identity, awareness and political attitudes: why are we still working class?

Year: 2016

Type: article

Abstract: Despite a long-term decline in the size of the working class, the proportion of the public who identify themselves as working class has remained stable over time. This chapter explores the reasons for this apparent contradiction and its implications for social and political attitudes and politics more generally.
