Today’s “Word of the Day” is “stratified” and it is an adjective meaning “(of a society) categorized into different levels/rankings based on factors like social status, caste, wealth, income, education and power; hierarchical, class-conscious.

Here, ‘social welfare measures’ that are otherwise ridiculed as ‘freebies’ act as a shock absorber.
