What is Socioeconomic Status? Socioeconomic status (SES) is an economic and sociological combined total measure of a person's work experience of an individual's or family's economic and social position relative to others based on income, education and occupation. A family or individual will fall into one of three categories when split into socioeconomic categories. These categories are High SES, middle SES, and low SES. When a family or individual is placed in one of these categories, any or all of the three variables (income, education, and occupation) are examined. A fourth variable, wealth, can also be examined when determining the socioeconomic status of a family or an individual.
