Working-class Stereotypes

Working-Class Stereotypes is a sociocultural construct that refers to a set of oversimplified, widely held beliefs or assumptions about the behaviors, values, and characteristics of individuals belonging to the working class, often emphasizing traits such as lack of ambition, limited education, or manual labor dependency, thereby differentiating it from stereotypes associated with other socioeconomic classes.
