Socio-economic issues are factors that have a negative influence on an individual’s economic activity. This includes, but is not limited to poverty, lack of education, cultural and religious discrimination, overpopulation, unemployment, and corruption.
Socioeconomic status is an individual's or group's position within a hierarchical social structure. It is also dependent on a combination of variables, including, occupation, education, income, wealth, and place of residence. In America, researchers have found the linkages between education and incarceration between poor educational outcomes and incarceration. Among state prison inmates, available data suggests that two-thirds have not completed high school (BJS 2009).
