What is socioeconomic status?
Socioeconomic status, often shortened to SES, is a measure of where someone sits in society based on income, education level and occupation taken together. Researchers use it because no single one of those measures captures advantage on its own.
Is it socio-economic or socioeconomic?
Both are correct. The hyphenated 'socio-economic' is the usual British form and the closed 'socioeconomic' the usual American one. Pick one and stay consistent within a document.
