Think of this ladder as representing where people stand in England.
At the top of the ladder are the people who are the best off - those who have the most money,
the most education and the most respected jobs. At the bottom are the people who are the worst off – who have the least money,
least education, and the least respected jobs or no job. The higher up you are on this ladder,
the closer you are to the people at the very top; the lower you are, the closer you are to the people at the very bottom.
