It could be argued that this is not an effective way of researching as people flow in and out of social classes throughout their life. Http; www.statistics.com.uk Social Class is linked to health because of four different reasons highlighted in the Black Report, The artifact approach is where the data between the higher and lower classes is not accurate enough, it’s a result of the way the data is source and collected. The social selection explanation is when people who are fitter and in better health have a better chance of being employed in better jobs. In comparison to people in lower social groups according to this theory will suffer more ill health and premature death because they are naturally less healthy and fit. Cultural explanations is when lifestyle choices are made regarding diet, smoking, exercise have an impact and make people less healthy than others in the higher social groups.
Mortality and mobility rates are a significant difference between the different groups and classes around the world. This reminds us about the on-going economical and the social factors that other people in other countries are faced with. There poor living and the living conditions that they would have to satisfy for would come under as inhumane.

They argued that people 9in the lower social class had a higher population of older people and people working in dangerous industries and others are working in a more traditionally will be expected to have higher levels of illness than the more younger, prosperous working in call centres offices and other service industries. This explanation suggests that it is the social class but the age structure and patterns of employment of the people in the lower social classes that really explains the differences.
