The book presents a sequel to a study previously conducted only in Belgrade (M. Popović ed., Social Inequalities, 1987), now broadened to encompass a sample of Serbian population (12 municipalities, N=1765, fieldwork during 1988), within the project “Inequalities and Discrepancies in the Development of the Socialist Republic of Serbia”. Fourteen areas are covered and in this way a complex picture of the Serbian society in the late 1980s is provided. The starting hypothesis, confirmed by research, is that the Serbian society is stratified and that strata differ due to their different positions in the social system. For this reason a synthetic “index of social position” is constructed which involves education, material standard and political power as basic dimensions.
