Recent Changes in the Role and Status of the British Middle Class

Original language description

Throughout much of the twentieth century, the British middle class enjoyed relative economic and social stability. However, since the arrival of the credit crunch of 2008 and the subsequent economic recession, members of this social group have been facing a series of challenges to their established way of life as a result of the increasing economic uncertainty, rising costs of housing and education and ever tougher competition on the labour market. The paper aims to demonstrate how the middle-class status is being affected by these changes. Particular attention is paid to the phenomenon of the coping class, a term coined to refer to individuals striving to maintain both self-reliance and distinct middle-class identity amidst the economic adversities. The changes affecting this group are shown to be part of a wider restructuring of British society currently underway, with a "two nations" model looking increasingly likely to replace the traditional tripartite arrangement.
