For assessing the impact of adoption of agriculture innovation social status was considered as one of the important dimension. So for measuring the social status what will be the important indicators?
I will like to suggest looking into social indicators such as association with reference and aspirational groups, education and income level, and opportunities of social and cultural interactions within and outside the community.
In some national statistics, which are used in relation to census data, an index of disadvantage is calulated for small areas. In Australia there is a SEIFA index. Despite these being for areas, The types of domains that are included may inform how we assess the socioeconomic factors affecting an individual farm househiold. Such variables could be education of the household head, gender of household head, size of landholding, type of land tenure, family size, annual income, access to markets, income from cash crops, and any periods of food insecurity, etc
Last month one of my PhD student and myself published an article about this in IJSER. That article is in my profile of RG. You can get good information from that article
