there are a number of socially defined characteristics of individuals that contribute to social status and, therefore, equality or inequality within a society. when researchers use quantitative variables such as income or wealth to measure inequality, on an examination of the data, patterns are found that indicate these other social variables contribute to income or wealth as intervening variables. significant inequalities in income and wealth are found when specific socially defined categories of people are compared. among the most pervasive of these variables are sex/gender, race, and ethnicity. this is not to say, in societies wherein merit is considered to be the primary factor determining one's place or rank in the social order, that merit has no effect on variations in income or wealth. it is to say that these other socially defined characteristics can, and often do, intervene in the valuation of merit.
