David Lockwood CBE FBA MAE (9 April 1929 – 6 June 2014) was a British sociologist.
[2] Lockwood was born on 9 April 1929 in Holmfirth, England, and was the youngest child in his working-class family.
[3] His father, Herbert, was a dyer and then retrained as a cobbler after being wounded during the First World War and he died when Lockwood was 10.
[3][failed verification] Lockwood argued that the class position of any occupation can be most successfully located by distinguishing between the material rewards gained from the market and work situations, and those symbolic rewards deriving from its status situation.
Other published work included The Affluent Worker in the Class Structure (1969) and Solidarity and Schism (1992).
