social stratification
This term is primarily used in sociology and anthropology to describe the systemic nature of inequality. It suggests a structural organization of society into layers, rather than random differences between individuals. The connotation is typically analytical and neutral, though it is often employed in critical discussions regarding social justice and systemic oppression.
Because it refers to a conceptual framework or a sociological phenomenon, it is treated as an uncountable noun. It does not refer to a single instance of a layer, but rather the entire process or state of being stratified. Consequently, it is not used in the plural form.
