The variable of the societal environment that includes income level and employment rate is known as economic forces. Economic forces encompass factors such as income, employment, wealth, and the benefits provided by employment, which influence consumer spending, housing, healthcare, and overall economic well-being in a society
. In summary:
- Income level and employment rate are key components of economic forces within the societal environment.
- Economic forces shape choices related to housing, medical care, and other social determinants of health and quality of life
- Other societal environment variables include sociocultural forces (values, beliefs, lifestyles), political forces (government policies), and technological forces (technology advancements), but these do not primarily include income and employment
Thus, the correct classification is economic forces.
