Document Summary

This particular reading focuses on social class and the influence it has on the overall health of a population. Working conditions can also have an effect on one"s health. The alternatives available to members of the working class are far fewer and more restrictive than those in the upper classes. Regarding health, a person from the working class may delay seeking medical attention when they are sick. They might have to take unpaid time off work to see a physician and then struggle to make ends meet at the end of the month or disregard medical symptoms hoping that they will go away. The alternatives available to those in the middle and upper classes are more flexible. Most often people in these classes are able to consult with a health care professional without losing pay and are entitled to medical benefits covered by their employers.
