The British Middle Class

It is reported that there are high increase population of middle class in Britain. by 2020, a majority of Britain adults will regard them as the middle class than the working class. furthermore, a huge wealth gap exist between middle and working class, even though there are substantially rise in the working class incomes.

in the temporary society, some new class type are emerging, for instance, ROBs ( Rich Ordinary Britons) - who regard them as working although they have reputation and huge wealth. HEWs ( High Earning Works) - who earn over £100,000 per year in household income, but still claim they are working class. SALs ( Surban Asset Lightweights )- who call themselves middle class with the poor incomes. It is clear that a considerable number of people's job mismatch their calling.

the traditional class markers are associated with savings,investment and property indicators not only previous family background, education and job. in the term of upbringing and job area, they are placed an important status between working and middle class (by 30% ). In the aspect of income, the working class think that the factor is more important than Middle class, while the latter more emphasis on eduction and housing than the working classes. As regard to the saving and investment, the middle classes have twice as much as counterpart and three times as much in investments. in all, the middle classes over £104,216 than the competitors in the aspect of total assets.

as far as I am concerned, the difference between classes mainly owing to the huge gap in the wealth, for the working classes, we should encourage them to save money for the future, and they require high level education and professional, managerial jobs.
