Class discrimination, also known as classism, is prejudice or discrimination on the basis of social class. It includes individual attitudes, behaviors, systems of policies and practices that are set up to benefit the upper class at the expense of the lower class.[1]
Social class refers to the grouping of individuals in a hierarchy based on wealth, income, education, occupation, and social network.
Studies show an interconnection between class discrimination and racism and sexism.[2]
