The term "socioeconomic" is really malleable, when in actuality you probably meant "low income" or "poor". This might be a better measure, but can be gamed also

The term "socioeconomic" is really malleable, when in actuality you probably meant "low income" or "poor". This might be a better measure, but can be gamed also as you point out. This however doesn't necessarily mean the measure is bad.
- kennend3 4y agoNo, i meant socioeconomic factors... "What are socioeconomic examples? Social and economic factors, such as income, education, employment, community safety, and social supports can significantly affect how well and how long we live. These factors affect our ability to make healthy choices, afford medical care and housing, manage stress, and more." Notice it includes "Income"? it includes other factors as well such as poor safety nets, etc.

Social and economic factors, such as income, education, employment, community safety, and social supports can significantly affect how well and how long we live. These factors affect our ability to make healthy choices, afford medical care and housing, manage stress, and more." This is a bit non-sensical. If you take education as an example for college admission, you need to support the ones that are the least suitable for exactly that. I know you certainly don't mean that, but you said it. Make it concrete and you notice the error. Socio-economic is a handwavy term.
