In reviewing a wide range of sources, this book provides easy access to the empirical research on social class. It illustrates how class differences reach into society, affecting not only life-styles but also life-chances - birth, health and death. Reid demonstrates how social class is related to most aspects of life in Britain including: differences in wealth and income, education and qualifications, work and leisure, expectation of life and experience of health, housing, sex and family relationships, political and religious beliefs and activity. It provides a comprehensive view of the nature of social class in Britain and discusses how the concept of class has been used in empirical research. In sum, it presents a very serious challenge to the hope or promise that Britain is moving towards a classless society.  \u003cp\u003eDispassionate in its approach, clear in its presentation and comprehensive in its treatment, \u003ci\u003eClass in Britain\u003c\/i\u003e provides an indispensable guide and sourcebook for all those who need to know, or are interested in, the social structure of Britain today.
