Special Issue on Social Stratification and Development

Social stratification involves the distribution of unequal rights and privileges among the members of a society. It would thus be seen that inequality of status or rank differentiation is the distinguishing feature of social stratification; where there is social stratification, there is social inequality. The goal of this Special Issue is to provide a platform for scientists worldwide to promote, share, and discuss various new issues and developments in the area of social stratification and development.

In this special issue, we intend to invite front-line researchers and authors to submit original research and review articles on exploring social stratification and development. Potential topics include, but are not limited to:

• Factors of social stratification
• Power and privilege
• Socioeconomic status
• Differences in social stratification
• Industrialization and social stratification
• Development of social stratification

Authors should read over the journal’s For Authors carefully before submission. Prospective authors should submit an electronic copy of their complete manuscript through the journal’s Paper Submission System.

Please kindly specify the “Special Issue” under your manuscript title. The research field “Special Issue - Social Stratification and Development” should be selected during your submission.
