Abstract
Many different approaches are available to measure the social stratification position of individuals. It is well known that different approaches can be associated with different theoretical and empirical properties. Nevertheless there is little consistent advice when confronting two important and interconnected considerations that affect many analyses of inequalities: how can we best exploit stratification measures when an intersectional and/or longitudinal understanding is prioritised? This paper will review the features of a number of important candidate measures of social stratification and discuss the challenges and opportunities for adapting conventional practices in ways that can take better account of intersectional and longitudinal analytical considerations
