The British Middle Class



The number of middle class people has increased with in forty years. More than half of the population are working class. In the year of 2020, working class people will be overtaken by middle class. There is a specific wealth gap between two classes which is £ 104000.

Some different kinds of classes are also discussed in middle class Britons.

One of them is ROBs( Rich ordinary Britons). Their amount of population is 2.67 million. They consider themselves as working class. According to the wealth, they are the top fifth in Britain.

Another is HEWs (High earning lightweights) who has half a million population. They earn in excess of £ 100000 a year from their household income, but they are working class. Besides, they contribute very well for their country.

At last, SALs(Suburban Asset Lightweights) who are the 1.84 million people . They recognised themselves middle class.

According to me, these three classes are something different though they work very hard for their nation.
