Social structures: middle classes and employees

The article considers the theoretical issues of identifying social classes. It presents criterial social standards for attributing employees to the middle classes, the most important of which are education level, occupational position, personal income and housing provision. It was found out that at present the middle classes make up only 2-3% of the total employees in the country. Actually, there is nobody among them, who has a family with two or more children. The primary cause of this is the low level of wages.
