32% of people in the top quarter of household incomes (earning more than £40,000 a year) identify as working class, according to the latest British Social Attitudes Survey. However, in the poorest households (earning less than £19,000), 48% identify as middle class, or say they have no class identity. 77% of Britons think that class adversely affects social mobility, up from 66% in 2012 and 70% in 1983.
The survey, conducted last year, reveals that only 9% of adults now think that same-sex relationships are “always wrong”, down from 50% in 1983. But the proportion who say they are “not prejudiced” towards transgender people fell to 64% last year, from 82% in 2019. Among 18- to 34-year-olds, the “not prejudiced” figure was 69%.
