What does Social composition mean? Social composition of the 1980's?

[Sizzle]

I have no idea what social composition means. I am supposed to describe the social composition of the 1980s and how it affected the political climate of the 1980s.

The economic composition would be the price of the US dollar, how many people were unemployed, how we were financially. ...correct?

The political composition would be how the citizens felt about the president/government? or it is more worldwide...how the world got along at that time?

Economic composition is production, distribution and consumption of goods and services. Microeconomics: Markets, market failures, supply and demand, firms; Macroeconomics: Growth, business cycles, inflation and monetary policy, fiscal policies and regulation; International economics; economic critics; notable rise in taxation; notable international trade agreements

The USA has a laissez-faire economy which means minimal government intervention, and we engage in Capitalism and the free market.

Political composition entails political parties; elections, presidency, judiciary (US Supreme Court); Congress
