All people cannot be equal and everywhere around the world exist social classes. Of course, it varies in different continents and societies, and there are no standard rules by which people are divided into particular social stratums. The same situation is happening in Lithuania, even though this young country is independent just over 20 years there is a clear distinction between people and can be found a few layers of society. Thus, there are several factors that determine belonging to one or another class in Lithuania. To begin with, a good question is on what factors is based a classification of people.

Each social class is divided into two under strata, in which people have basic education and II higher education. The greatest number of people is determined to be in the mediate class almost 50 percent of the entire nation. This number
