However, despite providing a class schema that has been highly influential in class analysis, the occupational based class schema “does not effectively capture the role of social and cultural processes in generating class divisions” (Savage et al, 2013:221). Subsequently, instead of using employment relations the Great British Class Survey sought to build a model of class that incorporated the multidimensional aspects of class based on economic, cultural and social capital (Devine and Snee, 2015). Taking on a positivist approach, The Great British Class Survey was designed to develop detailed measures of economic, cultural and social capital. Cultural capital was operationalised into questions about leisure interest, music taste, use of the

Goldthorpe and Marshall (1992) refute claims such as mine arguing that the aim is to analyse class and that there should be no reason to include other forms of social division into class accounts. However, like I, Acker (2016) shows how different dimensions of social inequality intersect with one another which brings us to our third study of how social inequality has been researched in society. Acker (2016) Inequality Regimes differs completely to the Great British Class Survey and the Nuffield Scheme, both theoretically and methodologically. Acker (2016) demonstrates that there is a reproduction of class, gender and racial relations of inequality in organisations which creates a continuum of inequality in organisations to prevail. Acker (2016) notes that most studies focus on one from of inequality asserts that research on equality must pay attention to the intersections of least race/ethnicity, gender and class, which is what the Great British Class Survey and the Nuffield Scheme do not do. The intersectional analyse of inequality is widely accepted by feminist scholars and Acker’s research focuses on how race, gender and class intersect in work organisations as forms of inequality. This differs completely as the other forms of analysis focus on the constructions of classes that causes inequality, but this approach examines the consequences these have in everyday relations when encountered with other dimensions of inequality. While they focus on occupations as a form of formulating class categories, Acker’s study looks at the inequality that exists in the occupations itself. Acker (2016) asserts that organisations have inequality regimes which can be defined as the” interrelated practices, processes, actions and meanings that result in and maintain class, gender and racial
