it is your economic background, ie...did you come from poor roots, middle class, or upper class. only in addition to how much money your grandparents and parents may or may not have had, it takes into account social (society) reasons as to why your economic background is such...so for example, not to imply they are any worse off as a family, but a poor family coming from the inner city has slightly different reasons as to why they are poor compared to a poor family in the mountains in Virginia. Both are considered poor...face a lot of the same problems, but technically when the reasons are broken down, it can be seen they are 'poor' for different reasons. Same can be said at the other end of the spectrum...growing up were you middle or upper class in a nice neighborhood going to good schools? Was it your family that had money, or were you raised modest with good work ethic and the drive to make your own millions...old money versus new money. These things impact and are impacted by your social surroundings.

Socioeconomic relates to where / what social and physical environment an individual lives and works.
For example: a white-collar worker might live in the suburbs and work in a business district. Socio-economic group might be an affluent middle to upper class 'status' - closely associated with income and education. Further, a blue-collar worker might be viewed as a middle to lower class 'status' - - - get the idea?
It is a classification of where an individual might live and work and how much 'spending' power he/she might have.

Was it rich or poor? Could they live comfortably on the the weekly wage? Did they have a weekly wage? What were their housing, eduction,health and safety issues? Were these caused by social conditions? If crime or poverty was caused by caused by personal indolence, then that is irrelevant to this question unless you can show that it was caused by lack of education or social opportunities.

How much money someone makes. People from poor parents have a high probability of being poor themselves. This is a nice way of pointing out poor and rich segments of society.

Basically how much education and money your parents had when you were growing up. Kind of like a social class you generally belong to.
